This ruling could mark an acrimonious end to a frosty relationship between KPL and the current FKF office, which stretches back four years.
It could also clear the path for Gor Mahia to represent the country in the Caf Champions league and also pave the way for the start of the 2020/2021 BetKing Premier League season under the supervision of FKF, following the expiry of KPL's mandate to manage the league on behalf of the federation.
The Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) Tuesday dismissed a petition by the Kenya Premier League (KPL) body challenging a decision by Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to prematurely end the 2019/2020 top-flight season and declare Gor Mahia Champions.
In his 30-minute ruling, SDT chairman John Ohaga explained among other factors, that KPL Chief Executive Officer, Jack Oguda, did not exhaust all international conflict resolution mechanisms before dragging FKF to the Tribunal.
