The zonal unions such as Cecafa may be represented by the Secretary General and one member who may take part in the deliberations but without voting rights. The meet will also mark the end of embattled Ahmad Ahmad\u2019s first reign as president of Caf.<\/p>\n

Ahmad ineligible<\/b><\/p>\n

A total of five candidates have expressed interest in the Caf presidency. The body\u2019s Governance Committee chaired by Ivorian Michel Kizito Brizoua-Bi convened last week to assess the eligibility of the five candidates that submitted their nominations in December last year. In their assessment, outgoing president Ahmad Ahmad who is currently serving a five-year ban by Fifa was found unfit and thrown out of the race.<\/p>\n

Senegalese FA boss Augustin Emmanuel Senghor, 55, and Ivorian Jacques Anouma, 69, were cleared to stand while Mamelodi Sundowns boss Patrice Motsepe and Ahmed Yahya (Mauritania) required additional checks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remind you of the application of Caf and Fifa Statutes and Regulations, whereby candidates are subject to an eligibility check carried out respectively by Caf and Fifa competent bodies. These checks are still on-going, and their results will be communicated usefully,\u201d the letter from Caf reads in part.<\/p>\n
