Major Endorsement for Bonface Ambani as Ronald Namai Bows Out, Offers Support
.
With less than two weeks to go before AFC Leopards’ crucial elections, former club striker Bonface Ambani has received a significant boost following an endorsement from former CEO Ronald Namai.
Namai, who had been widely tipped to run for the top seat, was conspicuously absent during the presentation of nomination papers—a silence that left fans and pundits speculating on his next move. That silence has now been broken with a public declaration of support for Ambani’s bid.
“After deep introspection, I took time to study Bonface Ambani’s manifesto. It closely mirrors my own vision for the club,” Namai said in a statement. “Through this journey, I have built a strong network of friends and supporters. I’ve also had engaging conversations with our members. One thing is clear—the hunger for silverware and sound leadership is real. Ambani embodies those ideals. I call on all my supporters and members to rally behind him and elect him as our next chairman.”
Unity for Change: Namai Endorses Ambani, Fans Buzz with Hope
Namai’s “Get It Right” mantra has been a constant theme in his public engagements with fans. His decision to step aside and throw his support behind Ambani is being interpreted by many as a calculated move to unify reform-minded voters under one banner.
Ambani, fondly remembered for his rallying cry “Ipo Siku”, has brought renewed hope and excitement to the Ingwe faithful. His campaign has struck a chord with the wider fan base, driving momentum that has made this year’s race one of the most competitive in recent history.
He will go head-to-head with Enos Mutokah, a former club marketing director, in what promises to be a high-stakes showdown on June 29th.
With Namai’s endorsement in the bag, the big question remains: Can Ambani ride this new wave of support to the chairmanship? Only the ballot will tell, as club members prepare to decide the future direction of Kenya’s second most decorated football club..”
