Every candidate is judged by his achievements and I had an impeccable record of bringing 50 international medals and 16 master titles. It wasn\u2019t a walkover though because my opponent gave me a hard time in the race,\u201d said a delighted Mwaka.<\/p>\n<p>Getting chess players financially sane is one of Mwaka\u2019s main targets. He plans on setting up sustainable wealth creation programs to create social empowerment for chess players to keep their bank balances healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Mwaka, being a two time Olympian, knows the hustles and bustles of a local chess player after treading the same path. He is also a FIDE Executive Board member and first tasted power in 2017 after beating Stephen Kisuze to carry on from Vianney Luggya. He will be deputised by Isaac Otim who scored 47 votes to beat Christopher Turyahabwe on 35 votes.<\/p>\n<p>THE NEW EXECUTIVE 2021-25President \u2013 Eng Mwaka EmmanuelVice-president \u2013 Otim IsaacGeneral secretary \u2013 Patrick OjokTreasurer \u2013 Masiko EzekielDevelopment Director \u2013 Shakira AmpaireTechnical Director \u2013 Teeba JordanNational Coach \u2013 Harold WanyamaPublicity Secretary \u2013 Nelson MubiruPlayers representative \u2013Walter OkasExecutive Chairperson Chess in schools \u2013 Innocent Kimera<\/p>\n<p><b>dbugembe@ug.nationmedia.com<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
