Amahwa concedes, Asembo vows to not support Mule

AFC Leopards Chairman-elect; Dan Mule has been congratulated by his closest rival; Maurice Amahwa who has conceded defeat offering his services to the new leader if needed.

Amahwa added he saw it prudent to accept defeat when beaten so as to move on for the benefit of the club that enjoys its biggest support from western Kenya.

“There was no fairness because one group was locked outside the polling station and there are things that I know happened but because I have no tangible evidence, then let it rest like that.

“However, I congratulate him and accept defeat as well as being ready to offer any help in whichever area he will be overwhelmed. I have no problem in supporting the club since its our team,” the Mombasa Branch chairman held.

“Asembo should persevere and be a Kenyan because the results aren’t the way they should have been but that’s it and we can do nothing much,” he added in calling on his fellow losing candidate and former Vice-President of Football Kenya Federation to also concede defeat.

The former Ingwe Secretary General however, refused to back down saying Sunday’s elections were not free and fair.

“I cannot accept that he won when I know that he was seen with returning officer the day before voting. This is totally unacceptable and I can not support him,” Asembo charged.

“He should now start working on how to bring back the lost glory so as we start smiling like the way we used to in the past. Fans should however, not expect wonders but give him time to organize himself and they should not give him any pressure since he is the chosen one,” Ingwe legend, Joe Kadenge, said in hailing the new man in charge.

“He has been in the club, he understands the weaknesses and strength and so he must know where to start from,” he added.

Mule won the elections after garnering 1160 votes with Amahwa (822), Asembo (119) and Matthews Opwora (eight) trailing each other in that order.
