Gor Mahia turmoil as Dolfina Odhiambo challenges Rachier’s leadership

In the latest developments surrounding Gor Mahia, Kenya’s revered football club faces significant internal strife. As the club prepares for upcoming elections, scheduled for April 13, tensions have risen with treasurer Dolfina Odhiambo voicing strong objections to current chairperson Ambrose Rachier’s leadership proposals.

Odhiambo has declared her candidacy for the chairperson position and has launched scathing attacks on Rachier’s proposed leadership structure. His suggestion to adopt a joint Chair-Vice Chair model, akin to Kenya’s presidential system, has been labeled by Odhiambo as self-serving and in violation of the club’s constitution, revised in 2019. “Mr. Rachier’s proposal contradicts our established statutes,” Odhiambo emphasized, adding that any constitutional changes must occur through an Annual General Meeting (AGM) and have member approval.

The club’s constitutionality has come under further scrutiny as the election date converges with the AGM, sparking concerns over fairness and transparency. Odhiambo has criticized this arrangement, arguing the impracticality of conducting vetting and elections on the same day. “How is proper vetting supposed to happen when elections and the AGM are scheduled simultaneously?” she questioned during a press briefing.

Highlighting her intent to offer Gor Mahia a more inclusive and sustainable future, Odhiambo advocates for leadership driven by integrity and actionable results. “My vision is to steer Gor Mahia into a brighter and more resilient era, where club affairs are marked by transparency and effective governance,” she asserted.

Odhiambo also raised the issue of potential conflicts of interest within the election committee, chaired by Wahome Gichu, and questioned the integrity of some committee members. She called for the establishment of a committee appointed by the Sports Registrar to ensure unbiased oversight.

Despite the controversies, the club’s Secretary General, Sam Ochola, indicated that the plans for the AGM and elections on April 13 remain unchanged. As the date approaches, members and stakeholders of Gor Mahia await with bated breath to see how the political landscape within the club will shape the future of this prestigious football organization.
