Newton Luchacha Lime has been officially cleared to run for Treasurer in the upcoming AFC Leopards elections, scheduled for 29th June. His clearance comes amid growing support, with recent internal club polls placing him as the fans\u2019 favourite\u2014a position he carries into the campaign with confidence and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanied by an energized group of supporters, Lime made his way to Kasarani Sports Complex earlier today, marking the start of what many are calling a pivotal campaign for financial reform at the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of his bid is the slogan \u201cI Believe\u201d<\/em>\u2014a message of hope, trust, and transformation that has quickly gained traction among club members. Lime says the phrase is more than just a rallying cry; it\u2019s a call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a new chapter, not just for me, but for AFC Leopards,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving been part of this club for over 15 years\u2014from active supporter to branch leadership\u2014I know where we\u2019ve stumbled, and more importantly, I know how we rise again. \u2018I Believe\u2019 represents our collective confidence in a better future<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Lime\u2019s strong credentials include a 20-year career in public service and a leadership stint as the former Chairman of the Buruburu Branch\u2014experience that has equipped him with the skills to manage and safeguard the club\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Constantine Lisamula, the current Buruburu Branch Chairman, praised Lime\u2019s blend of institutional knowledge and leadership maturity, describing him as a steady hand in turbulent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
“Newton is not guessing his way through this,” Lisamula said. “He understands the fabric of this club. He\u2019s not here to experiment\u2014he\u2019s here to restore order and vision<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lime\u2019s campaign is anchored on four clear pillars designed to bring lasting change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • \u2705 Disciplined and Accountable Financial Management<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2705 Strategic Budgeting to Eliminate Waste<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2705 Tech-Driven Financial Systems<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2705 Full Transparency in All Transactions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Though momentum is clearly building around his candidacy, Lime will face a competitive field that includes Hon. Patrick Kanyangi and Edward Buhasho\u2014both experienced contenders for the Treasurer position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    With just 18 days left until members cast their votes, the question remains: Will \u201cI Believe\u201d<\/em> carry Newton Lime all the way to the AFC Leopards treasury?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The fans believe. The polls suggest it. On June 29th, the club will decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
