The National Sports Commission (NSC) has announced a one-week extension to the ongoing National Sports Federations Election process to allow for a fair and transparent review of post-election petitions and appeals received from various constituencies and stakeholders.
The Commission explained that the decision was necessary to uphold the principles of fairness, inclusiveness, and integrity throughout the election process.
According to a press release signed by Rita Mosindi, Secretary of the Electoral Committee, the extension will ensure that “all complaints, petitions, and appeals arising from the electoral process are thoroughly reviewed and resolved in a transparent and just manner before the final conclusion of the elections.”
Mosindi further noted that the Electoral Committee has been directed to review and adjust the existing timelines to reflect the one-week extension. This adjustment, she said, will “allow adequate time for the resolution of all pending matters and proper preparation for the remaining stages of the election.”
The revised schedule indicates that the inauguration of the National Sports Federation Boards will hold on 25th October, 2025 while hearing of petitions and appeals will be on the 1st of November, 2025. In same vein, bye-elections from possibles appeals will hold on the 8th of the same month.
The NSC expressed appreciation to all stakeholders, including federation members, athletes, technical officials, and the general public for their cooperation and understanding. “The Commission remains committed to guaranteeing a credible and transparent electoral process that reflects the will of the sports community,” the statement concluded
