BREAKING: Hussein Mohammed clinches FKF Presidential seat in overwhelming second round victory
Otieno conceded defeat as the second round of the presidential election was going on, rendering the result a formality, and it now means Hussein Mohammed will be the new FKF President.
"I have no doubt in my mind that these elections were rigged. From the very beginning, the process was flawed," Mwendwa, whose administration faced several legal battles, told SportsBoom.
"You had certain people getting access to voter rolls and using their influence to sway votes. Some delegates were deliberately blocked from attending the polls, while others were coerced into voting a particular way. This is not democracy—this is a farce," he added.

'We want our clubs to make money'- Nick Mwendwa hails federation's groundbreaking partnership with FIFA for FKF PL clubs
FKF president Nick Mwendwa flagged off the two-day event on Monday aimed at professionalizing and commercializing FKF Premier League clubs that was attended by top clubs and FIFA officials.
Mwendwa’s remarks suggest that he believes the entire system was manipulated in favor of a certain faction despite the federation's electoral process being managed by an independent elections body.
Mwendwa also noted that the election process lacked proper oversight and accountability. "The electoral body was supposed to be independent, but it was clear that there were undue influences from certain quarters. How do you explain that certain candidates were allowed to campaign, while others were denied the same right? How do you explain the last-minute changes to the voter rolls?"
He highlight how the voting process appeared skewed in favor of candidates who had the backing of powerful figures within Kenyan football, many of whom were perceived to have been instrumental in his removal from office three years ago.
