Football Kenya Federation (FKF) is set to hold its elections in the next two months under a new code that has raised the bar for presidential candidates.
The code, approved by delegates at the seventh Annual General Meeting in Nairobi, requires candidates to have a running mate and pay a Sh400,000 nomination fee.
FKF President Nick Mwendwa said the code aims to bring in good managers in the sport, addressing past challenges in the federation.
"We have had a lot of problems in the federation in the past and this code is meant to address those challenges," Mwendwa said.
The meeting also approved an electoral board headed by university don Edwin Wamukoya, with other members including Eunice Lumallasa, Abdi Said, Ellyna Shiveka, and Robert Nyakundi.
Meanwhile, Mwendwa confirmed that suspended Chief Executive Robert Muthomi will not be returning to his position, with Barry Otieno continuing to serve in an acting capacity.
Two FKF National executive officials, Chris Amimo and Mohammed Muller, have announced their decision to step down and not contest in the upcoming elections.
