Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) Super League board was re-elected for another four year tenure (2019-2020 to 2022-2023).
This happened during the extra ordinary general assembly elections held at Mandela National Stadium on Friday, July 26, 2019.
Arinaitwe “Bishop” Rugyendo bounced back alongside the other four members; Humphrey Mandu Watenga, Ivan Fredrick “Guy” Kawuma, Peter Kibazo Kyasanku and David Sserebe Bunya.
The returning officer on the day Yusuf Awuye conducted the electoral process in a tranquil process also graced by the FUFA CEO Edgar Watson, second Vice President Darius Mugoye and third Vice President Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi as well as Executive Committee members Hamid Juma and Ronnie Kalema.
Only 13 of the 16 Uganda Premier league clubs graced the poll; with the exception of the three newly promoted clubs Proline, Wakiso Giants and Kyetume who are not yet admitted members as per the FUFA constitution.
During the poll, Mandu tallied 13 votes out of 13, Kibazo got 12 votes, Serebe (11), Rugyendo (11), Kawuma (7), Njuba (6) and Kalinaki was just voted four times .
Another candidate Dr. Azah Taibu from BUL Football Club pulled out of the race at the 11th hour and did not participate in the elections.
Rugyendo came into office in 2015 while owning a super league, The saints which later was sold UPDF, he is no longer eligible. Rugyendo standing again was un fair to those ruining super league clubs and that’s why many think is why many issues frustrating premier league clubs are not addressed well because the concerned two people, League chairman Rugyendo and 3rd Vice President in charge of the league hon. Nakiwala Kiyingi, are no longer club leaders to some members and stake holders are just money makers from the league.
Bellow are the members who attended the Assembly:
Ronald Mutebi (Bright Stars FC), Saleh Salmin (BUL FC), Diana Nyago (Busoga United FC), Kiryowa Kiwanuka (Express FC), Aggrey Ashaba (KCCA FC), Moses Kakungulu (Maroons FC), Mwine Mpaka (Mbarara City FC), Pius Bamwange (Onduparaka FC), AIGP Asan Kasingye (Police FC), Michael Wandera (Tooro United FC), William Nkemba (SC Villa FC), James Kizza (URA FC), George Mulindwa (Vipers SC), Sula Kamoga (Wakiso Giants FC), Hussein Kato Kalibala (Proline FC).
