Vihiga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With months moving into weeks as weeks crawl into days , election fever has gripped AFC leopards Soccer club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oldest club in Kenya is yet again looking forward to a seamless transition. Before the promulgation of the club&#8217;s current constitution, leadership wrangles at the den used to define the club&#8217;s modus operandi. At one point the acronym AFC was corrupted to state Always Firing Coaches a scenario that was always applied by every new regime that toppled an existing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2010 we have witnessed some semblance of order thanks to the club&#8217;s constitution that defines how leaders are elected and their terms of service at the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the term of the current office bearers coming to an end in June and with Dr Dan Shikanda un- eligible for another term after serving his two terms, many aspirants have declared their intentions to replace him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Club Secretary General Gilbert Andugu not in the race.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite serving only one term, the current club SG Mr Gilbert Andugu has declared that he will not be defending his seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andugu will be remembered for steering the club at the most crucial moment where the club was faced by the decision to choose between going corporate or remaining as a community club. This matter was brought to a vote and the members chose to remain a community club dealing a deadly blow to proponents of the moot led by former CeO Richard Ekhalie and Dan Shikanda. Andugu has been in and out of hospital for the past 8 Months which denied him ample time to execute his mandate as club SG which has informed his decision to step down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter is-light has-custom-content-position is-position-bottom-left\" style=\"min-height:100vh;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\">Outgoing club SG Mr Gilbert Andugu <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"342\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inbound1888126564078653646.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inbound1888126564078653646.jpg 342w, https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inbound1888126564078653646-300x270.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mulindi and 6 others racing to replace Andugu.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>City businessman Isaac Mulindi who traces his roots to Sabatia in Vihiga county has announced his candidature for the secretary General&#8217;s seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-17224\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inbound852254565053307293.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inbound852254565053307293.jpg 720w, https:\/\/goodmorningkenya.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inbound852254565053307293-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Mulindi who has interests in the health sector by way of running a health facility and also supplies medical equipment is also an ordained man of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac is not new in matters AFC, his elder brother Dr Sobbie Mulindi was also a diehard fan and member of AFC leopards who rose to become chairman of AFC leopards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to www.goodmorningKenya.com, Mulindi says that his vision for the club was driven by his inborn passion for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;I grew up watching AFC leopards play, this bias decision was subconsciously made by virtue of my being a Luhya.
