What you need to know:

  • But Oguda maintains Mwendwa erred in ending the league without consulting the KPL Governing Council, which is the league's top decision making organ.
  • The KPL Chief Executive also argues that Mwendwa, didn't have powers to end the league in April because the SDT had ruled two months earlier that FKF's National Executive Committee (NEC) term of office had ended.

The Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT) will Tuesday determine whether Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa had the authority to cancel the 2019/2020 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season,  and to declare Gor Mahia the champions.

Tribunal chairman John Ohaga will deliver the ruling, four months after KPL's Chief Executive Jack Oguda, and Chemelil Sugar challenged Mwendwa's decision.
