Shadrack Maluki elected new Olympics Kenya president
NAIROBI, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's judo chief Shadrack Maluki was elected as the country's new Olympic president following the delayed election conducted in the capital Nairobi on Monday.
Maluki narrowly beat incumbent secretary general Francis Mutuku in the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) election.
Following a protracted process that saw the exercise aborted twice, in April and June, 27 local federations were cleared to vote, with each bearing a single ballot.
Maluki garnered 15 votes to Mutuku's 12 to bring an end to a leadership saga that had threatened to tear the Olympic body in two.
