Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) Electoral Committee has rebuffed Walter Nyamilandu\u2019s late appeal to disqualify Fleetwood Haiya from the race for the presidency in the impending general meeting. Citing procedural discrepancies, the committee contends that Nyamilandu\u2019s appeal should have been lodged before November 21, 2023.<\/p>\n

The dismissal, as per a statement from the Electoral Committee, rests on a violation of Article 12(2) of the FAM Code, which stipulates a three-day window for submitting appeals along with their justifications.<\/p>\n

Nyamilandu, on November 24, 2023, raised concerns about Haiya\u2019s candidacy, asserting that the latter\u2019s affiliation with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, where he serves as Vice President, compromises his eligibility.<\/p>\n

However, Sports Analyst Kim Kamaua has condemned this move, labeling it a \u201cshameful act\u201d and accused the appeal\u2019s legal team of tarnishing the sport\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

Kamau emphasizes that Nyamilandu\u2019s past roles as a Confederations of Southern African Football (COSAFA) and Confederations of African Football (CAF) member, as well as FIFA\u2019s Council Member in 2019, did not spark any complaints.<\/p>\n

Kamau suggests that the appeal is a diversionary tactic by Nyamilandu. On his part, Sports Enthusiast Julius Mithi views the appeal as lacking depth and indicative of the heightened intensity surrounding the elections. Mithi has commended the electoral body for averting potential chaos, noting that many individuals have competed while holding similar positions.<\/p>\n

As the December 16, 2023 elections approach, Walter Nyamilandu, who has held the FAM President position for an impressive 19 years, and Fleetwood Haiya remain prominent contenders for the presidency, setting the stage for a closely watched and contested electoral showdown.<\/p>\n
