- The SDT further directed that the FKF Electoral Board and FKF Appeals Committee, named as respondents in the case, be served with relevant documents by no later than 12:30 PM on Thursday.
- Apart from Salim Ali, other candidates who were barred from contesting for county chairman positions included Eliakim Mbaliwa (Nakuru), Bwanamku Fumo (Lamu), Isaac Munene (Trans Nzoia), Patrick Kamora (Tana River), Zablon Mwanyumba (Taita Taveta), Kefa Onditi (Nakuru), Abdisalam Ahmed (Mandera), and Daudi Ali (Wajir).
The Mombasa County Football Kenya Federation (FKF) elections scheduled for Saturday were halted on Thursday by the Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT) following a case brought forward by former chairman Salim Ali Said, who had been excluded from the list of contestants released by the FKF Electoral Board.
Salim argued that barring him from the race infringed on his rights ahead of this weekend's elections taking place across 48 branches.
