Leodegar Tenga
The president was speaking at a press conference held at the federation’s offices in Dar es Salaam yesterday
He said elections must be held while
bearing in mind the rules and regulations governing the football game
and the guiding constitution.
He urged all the electoral committee to
abide to the prevailing constitution and avoid ambiguity that would
ignite complaints from voters as well as election candidates.
He said candidates must refrain from violating the pre set rules and etiquettes of the elections.
He also cautioned the TFF’s executive
committee and secretariat not to interfere with the electoral committees
to meet their personal interest. Instead he said all electoral
committees must be respected so as to have smooth running election.
He also warned all aspiring election
candidates to take their time and have a closer look of their
constitutions before picking up the forms. He said trouble has always
been caused by candidates who are ignorant of the governing constitution
whether deliberately or otherwise.
He made a call to regional bodies and
other affiliated organizations to wind up elections ahead of the
federation’s general election set for December.
Tenga who has been in power as president
of the federation for two consecutive four year tenures, has declined to
declare whether he will be seeking re-election for the third term or
not.
He congratulated regional football bodies
that have concluded their general elections successfully. He thanked
Arusha, Dodoma, Iringa, Kagera, Kigoma, Kilimanjaro, Manyara, Mara,
Morogoro, Mtwara and Singida for holding their elections free and fair.
