Albert Wesonga is no longer AFC Leopards interim CEO following the expiry of his contract.

Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF PL) club AFC Leopards announced the departure of Acting CEO Albert Wesonga.

The decision, effective immediately, follows the expiration of Wesonga's contract, which had been in place on an interim basis since October of last year.

Wesonga assumed the role after the club dismissed former CEO Victor Bwibo.

Bwibo's removal was seen as a response to a period of disappointing performance for the Leopards, and Wesonga was entrusted with steering the club back on track.

While the club made strides under Wesonga's guidance, AFC Leopards has chosen to move in a different direction as they continue to pursue improved results in the 2023-24 season.

In a statement released by the club, Leopards addressed Wesonga’s exit and cautioned stakeholders against any further business dealings with him on behalf of the club.

“This is to notify our esteemed customers, suppliers, and the general public that Mr. Albert Wesonga is no longer the acting CEO of AFC Leopards SC after the expiry of his contract. He is therefore not authorized to transact any business on behalf of AFC Leopards SC or any of its concerns or represent the club in any capacity. AFC Leopards shall not accept any liability arising from his actions," read the statement.

Wesonga's tenure saw Leopards through a period of adjustment, during which the club focused on reestablishing itself within the FKF PL.

Ingwe currently sit in 4th place on the league table with 10 points, 4 points shy of leaders KCB.

With a record of three wins, one draw, and two losses from six matches, the team is showing promising form, although consistency remains key.

The Thomas Trucha-coached side will not be in action this weekend as their anticipated match against third-placed Mara Sugar, initially scheduled for Sunday at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos, has been postponed.
