All set for BFK County elections

The Boxing Federation of Kenya (BFK) will hold its grassroots elections this Saturday, with five counties set to elect new officials who will steer the sport for the next four years.

The elections will take place in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Laikipia, and Kisumu, where county boxing associations will decide their leadership.

In Kisumu, BFK President Anthony Otieno Ombok, popularly known as Jamal, will be seeking re-election as County Chairman, with expectations of a decisive victory.

A heated contest is anticipated in Nakuru, where BFK 1st Vice President Isaac Mbote will face off against Martin Luther of Sombea Boxing Club for the county chairman position.

Meanwhile, BFK National Treasurer Musa Benjamin will be defending his Nairobi County Secretary-General seat.

On the national front, BFK’s general elections are set for March 1, 2025, at Kasarani Stadium. The polls were initially scheduled for last year but were delayed due to challenges in club registration, which have since been resolved.
