Gor Mahia electoral board announced ahead of April poll

Registration of members was closed on Monday 31 March with only those registered by that time eligible to vote.

While the elections have attracted various candidates, more eyes will be on the chairperson position, which has so far attracted the incumbent Dr. Ambrose Rachier and Dolfina Odhiambo, who is the current treasurer.

Rachier, who has been at the helm of Gor Mahia for the last 17 years, said he has only served one term under the Sports Act and is therefore eligible for another term.
