Some members who took part in the Northwest Stream First Division (NWSFD) this past weekend's elections have vowed to appeal some of the outcomes.This is after the congress re-elected chairperson Fillemon Vatilifa over the weekend at Ongozi Lodge in the Omusati Region. Vice-chairperson Lawrence Kandundu was also re-elected into his position.One member, who chose to remain anonymous, said they will be lodging an appeal.“I am totally unhappy with what transpired at that elections and I do believe that the results were rigged. “I am busy preparing the appeal on behalf of the football region, which believes the time for some of these members are up,” the source said. The source felt that elections were done in a “mafia way” and were not conducted in free and transparent manner.Vatilifa contested for his position against Jefta Gaoab, who received one vote and Vilho Uutoni who garnered two votes during the elections.Rejoice Sabatha challenged Kandundu for the vice-chairperson post, but only managed to secure three votes.NWSFD league administrator Lydia Hakandonga rebuffed the allegations, saying the elections were free and fair. “The elections were free and fair because there is no one who complained during the vote.“I do believe that everyone was happy, given the electoral committee that was on board during the elections,” Hakandonga said. Several individuals were also elected to the division's executive committee.Seven of the members who vied for the executive committee received between eight to nine votes. Eight members contested for the positions, while only seven were needed.This resulted in Eliaser Sheya falling out after only managing to get two votes.Mario Kamati, Paulus Mbango, Rambo Hapuka and Simon Kalumbu, Jackson Shinombedi and Matheus Kamati, who all received nine votes, together with Abed Shikongo, who received eight votes, will all be serving on the executive. The elections were conducted by an independent electoral committee comprising of lawyer Hafeni Spike, who was the chairperson.CAF and Fifa referee, physical instructor and university lecturer Moses Hidengwa served as the vice-chairperson of the electoral committee.Namibia Football Association regional coordinator Jason Kamati was also part of the committee.The elections were done under the watchful eye of three observers, to ensure that everything was free and fair.
