Rachier was appointed by the KPL alongside KCB chairman George Odhiambo but his  appointment was rejected by FKA National Executive Committee.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to KPL CEO Jack Oguda, FKA chairman Nyamweya said: &#8220;I would like  to inform you that NEC has rejected the nomination of Ambrose Rachier, chairman  of Gor Mahia, as the second vice chairman, mainly because it is not in line with  KPL&#8217;s policy of having the chairman of the champion team sitting in the FKA  board.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also said the move amounts to conflict of interest as Rachier was a  candidate for the position of chairman in the October 29 polls. &#8220;This move if  left to stand, will start causing acrimony after we have had a very good start  with KPL,&#8221; said Nyamweya, adding that Odhiambo&#8217;s nomination was undisputed.  Rachier&#8217;s appointment was also contested by AFC Leopards chairman Alex Ole  Magelo who said the due process was not followed.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, coast fans sighed with relief after relegation-threatened Bandari  beat hosts Karuturi FC 1-0 to revive their survival hopes. Bandari is the only  team still carry coast hopes after their neighbours Congo United were shown the  door after succumbing to 0-4 to against AFC Leopards in Mumias. Newly elected  FKA Mombasa sub-branch chairman Ali Hussein hailed Bandari feat away at  Karuturi. &#8220;Their victory is the victory for all the coastal soccer fans as they  are apparently the only hope for the region in Kenya Premier League (KPL),&#8221; said  Hussein.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/fkl-rejects-rachier\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Information courtesy of allafrica.com) Newly elected Football Kenya Association (FKA) have protested over the appointment of Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
