Rachier Re-Elected Gor Mahia Chair After Chaotic Polls

Ambrose Rachier won another term as Gor Mahia Football Club chairman on Sunday at the Nyayo National Stadium. He received 658 votes against Dolfina Odhiambo, who earned 456 votes. The veteran leader will serve four more years at the Kenyan Premier League club. Rachier has headed the team since 2008 and will remain chairman until 2029. His name appeared alone on initial candidate lists before electoral officials added Odhiambo, a former club treasurer, to the final ballot Saturday.

Sally Bolo became vice chairperson with 610 votes, defeating Victor Mbaka, who gathered 488 votes. Nick Arum won the secretary-general position against incumbent Sam Ocholla, collecting 582 votes to Ocholla's 501. The election continued despite earlier chaos when police fired tear gas at crowds, sending delegates and fans running for safety. These elections followed a Sports Disputes Tribunal ruling that ordered the club to hold a vote within 90 days. The tribunal cited the 2019 club constitution, which gave executives four-year terms.
