Muyah, acting chairman of the Kenya Swimming Federation (KSF), was the only new candidate to put his name forward to the the Centre for Multiparty Democracy-Kenya  (CMD-K), who are overseeing the election, by 9am yesterday. 

Kipchoge Keino, chairman of the NOCK since 1999, had been hoping to stand for another term but did not submit any paperwork so will step down after the election of the new chairman.

Tergat, the former world record holder for the marathon and a two-time Olympic silver medallist, had lodged his nomination before the original election, which had been due to take place on May 5. 

Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) chairman Waithaka Kioni, who had also been considering standing, was another who failed to meet the nomination deadline.

Two other officials from the KSF, including Ben Ekumbo, want to stand for other positions.

Ekumbo has filed paperwork to stand for re-election as deputy first vice-chairman.

He is just one of several Kenyan officials implicated in corruption linked to last year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro planning to stand in the elections. 

This is despite the fact that Ekumbo resigned as chairman of the KSF in January following his arrest last year on theft charges.

In November Kenyan police raided Ekumbo’s apartment in Nairobi, finding both money and a kit full of supplies meant for Kenya’s national team. 

Authorities found Ekumbo hiding under his bed as they investigated further into the stolen property.

He was held in prison for three days before he was formally charged with theft. 

Ekumbo, Kenya's Deputy Chef de Mission at Rio 2016, allegedly stole $10,500 (£7,800/€8,800) worth of athletic shoes, tracksuits, and bags supplied to athletes as part of the country's sponsorship deal with Nike. 

Ekumbo claimed that he planned to return the money and that it had showed up in his account without his knowledge. 

In 2005 a former treasurer of the KSF claimed funds sent by FINA to assists Kenya’s participation in the 2001 World Championships in Fukuoka in Japan had allegedly remained in a bank account while swimmers were asked to pay their own way. 

Ekumbo claimed he had transferred the money straight through to Japan and denied any wrongdoing.

The other new candidate is Winnie Kamau, secretary of the KSF, who wants to stand for the NOCK Executive Committee.

it is not clear whether the candidates from the KSF will be allowed to stand as they are among five governing bodies, along with Kenya Taekwondo Association (KTA), Kenya Badminton Association (KBA), Kenya Cycling Federation and Kenya Canoeing and Rowing, whose status is in doubt.

CMD-K have ruled that it should be up to the NOCK Elective General Assembly in Nairobi whether they are allowed to put candidates forward and vote. 

If he is allowed to continue, Ekumbo will face Kenya Judo Association President Shadrack Maluki and Kenya Hockey Union (KHU) chairman Nahashon Randiek for the first vice-chairman.

Like Tergat, they had filed their nominations for the original election before that was postponed after a High Court injunction was obtained by the KTA, who had been barred from participating. 

Kioni will take on Athletics Kenya President Jackson Tuwei for the second vice-chairman position after the incumbent Pius Ochieng decided not to defend his seat.

Kenya Handball Federation chairman Francis Kinyili Paul will defend his position as secretary general against Kenya Table Tennis Association President Andrew Mudibo and Kenya Rugby Union director John Kilonzo.

Ochieng and Paul were also both arrested following Rio 2016 also on suspicion of stealing Nike kit meant for Kenya's athletes. 

James Chacha is hoping to be re-elected as deputy secretary general, despite having also been arrested upon his return from Rio 2016. 

Kenya Weightlifting Association (KWA) Secretary John Ogolla and Muriithi Nabea from Football Kenya Federation are also standing. 

KHU vice-chair Elina Shiveka will take on Anne Njambi, from the KBA, and Eliud Kariuki, of the KWA, for treasurer's position.

Stephen Soi, another official arrested after Rio 2016, is planning to stand for re-election for deputy treasurer.

He was charged after the Olympics of stealing $256,000 (£190,000/€215,000) from the Kenyan Government and the NOCK and Athletics Kenya.

Boxing Association of Kenya John Kameta is also standing.

Soi and Chacha had been banned from standing in the original election four months ago and it is unclear whether they will be allowed to take part this time.

The IOC had warned NOCK that they had to hold elections by the end of this September or they risked being suspended.

That could mean they would not able to compete under their own flag at next year's Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast.
