Andrew Kamanga has been re-elected as the president of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) for a third consecutive term, Afrosport reports.
Kamanga was confirmed as the sole candidate for the period covering 2025 to 2029 after the FAZ Electoral Committee revealed that the 58-year-old was the only nominee that met the eligibility criteria.
Eight other candidates were disqualified after failing to meet the election requirements, causing Kamanga to be re-elected unopposed.
Ronald Haatongo, FAZ Electoral Committee Chairman, announced that the decision was in line with the ordinance of the nation’s Football Association, which includes an integrity test.
“Only Mr. Andrew N. Kamanga met the necessary conditions, and as a result, he has been duly elected,” Haatongo stated.
Former FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala, former Vice President Emmanuel Munaile, and Keith Mweemba are among the disqualified candidates, who have until 22 February to appeal the electoral committee’s ruling.
Kamanga, who is expected to bid for a seat at the FIFA Council next month in Cairo, was first named FAZ President in 2016.
