Fecafoot Elections: Atah Robert to challenge Tombi

Another candidate, Atah Robert Behazah has been enlisted for the Cameroon Football Federation, after completing the required paper-work to be eligible for elections set for February 25.

He is one of the five candidates initially rejected by the electoral commission for incomplete files.

Atah would go to the poll with Tombi A Roko Sidiki, the current secretary general of the normalisation committee, who was initially unopposed as the new president of Fecafoot prior to the extension.

Former Indomitable Lions goalkeeper Joseph Antoine Bell, Robert Penne and former national team coach, Jules Nyongha and Mebande Bridgitte could not meet the set standards for the elections.

Fifa decided to postpone Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) polls until 28th February for security reasons.

Cameroon’s minister of social security, Gregoire Owona and sports and physical education minister Adoum Garoua travelled to Fifa headquarters in Switzerland to outline some concerns over the polls.

Their main worry was over possible violence should the elections go ahead as planned after several potential candidates were deemed ineligible to stand.

Concerns were also raised about some of the Fecafoot statutes used in the election process.

Fifa said the elections were to hold with the statutes adopted in August 2014 and with the six candidates who registered on 10 November – no further entrants should be considered.
