The Kitui High Court has given the greenlight to FKF county elections after the exercise had been halted pending an hearing.
The Kitui High Court has given the go-ahead for the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) branch elections set to take place on Thursday, November 14.
The branch elections are a critical step leading up to the FKF's national elections scheduled for December 7, which will see a fiercely competitive race for leadership positions.
Originally slated for November 9, the branch elections were delayed when the Kitui High Court issued a halt following a lawsuit by the Kenya Football Association (KFA).
The KFA's suit challenged FKF's authority to oversee the elections, asserting that the KFA was the rightful body to conduct football elections in Kenya.
