KAMANGA’S UNOPPOSED WIN NULLIFIED, FOUR JOIN FAZ PRESIDENTIAL RACE AFTER SUCCESSFUL APPEALS
Four candidates have officially joined the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) presidential race after successfully appealing their previously invalid nominations, bringing the total number of contenders to five.
The candidates now in the race include Keith Mweemba, Francis Hafwiti, Adrian Kashala, Emmanuel Munaile, and incumbent Andrew Kamanga.
Their successful appeals have led to the nullification of Kamanga’s earlier declaration as duly elected FAZ President for the 2025-2029 term, a declaration initially made on February 17, 2025, after he was announced as the sole eligible candidate.
Meanwhile, appeals by Godfrey Chikumbi, Mumbo Lombe, and Alex Njobvu were dismissed, leaving them out of the contest.
With directives from the National Sports Council of Zambia (NSCZ), FAZ has just one day left to conduct its elections, as the current executive will not be recognized beyond February 28.
