Football Kenya Federation President Nick Mwendwa believes he has what it takes to serve in the Fifa Council ahead of today’s elections during the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) General Assembly at Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt.

He faces stiff competition from Tanzanian Leodgar Tenga, South Africa FA president Danny Jordan, Elvis Chetty from Seychelles and Malawi’s Walter Nyamilandu in the race to replace Ghanaian Kwesi Nyantakyi, who resigned over graft charges.
