SC Villa presidential hopeful Hajji Meywa Farouq has called on the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) to urgently intervene in the club’s electoral process, citing concerns over the lack of a roadmap and legitimacy of the current leadership.
“We need an online registration such that everyone in the country and outside the country can register. Some people might not be able to go to East High School,” Meywa said during the launch of his manifesto.
Meywa’s camp has given FUFA seven days to clarify the situation at the club, arguing that the mandate of the current management expired in November last year.
“We are requesting FUFA to intervene in the matters of SC Villa within seven days. Elections are in March, just a month away, but there is no roadmap. Villa currently doesn’t have legitimate management,” Meywa added.
Supporting Meywa’s stance, Sultan Hakim of Team Bikolwa called on FUFA to compel SC Villa authorities to release the electoral roadmap and organize the elections.
“FUFA should come and force their member to release the roadmap. We want them to organise the elections,” Sultan stated.
Meywa has launched a countrywide mobilisation tour, starting with Masaka, and is seeking to unseat incumbent president Hajji Omar Mandela.
His camp insists that FUFA should preside over the SC Villa elections to ensure transparency and credibility.
