In an election exercise carried out at the RFUEA Grounds on Wednesday evening, Geoffrey Oduor Gangla has been elected as the new Kenya Rugby Union chairman after beating his closest rival Sasha Mutai.


Oduor garnered 33 votes, beating former vice chairman Sasha Mutai who polled 20 votes.

The elections were held at the RFUEA grounds and were presided over by IEBC official Martin Simatwa.

Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) resolved to go on with their AGM despite efforts by the Ministry of Sports to halt the elections.

An impromptu KRU Board meeting on Tuesday night at RFUEA grounds resolved that the meeting, where elections for KRU chairmanship and three board members will take place, must go on as per the Union’s constitution.

This decision is anchored upon clause 12.4 of the KRU constitution which provides that a duly constituted General Meeting can only be adjourned at that particular meeting.”

Gangla had late on Tuesday indicated in a statement that the ministry had requested for the postponement so as to allow for a stakeholders meeting to sort out the problems in rugby before the election.

Will he make the Kenyan Rugby team shine in the world again?
