What you need to know:

  • Reflecting on his tenure, Tergat emphasised the importance of leadership that prioritizes the welfare of sportsmen and women.
  • “We have introduced many projects at NOC-K through our strategic plan,” he said. “The person taking over from me should be a doctor—someone ready to delegate duties and consult widely.”

As National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) president Paul Tergat presided over his last Annual General Meeting Tuesday in Nairobi, the race to succeed him is on with contenders positioning themselves well ahead of the elections scheduled for April 2025.

Tergat, a two-time Olympic 10,000m silver medallist, will complete his second term at NOC-K’s elective general assembly on April 24 next year.
