Up to half of the existing officials of the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (Nock) have been locked out of tomorrow’s elections for various reasons.

Current president Kipchoge Keino will not be on the ballot, leaving the top post to be contested by Paul Tergat and Patrick Karuga Muya from Kenya Swimming Federation (KSF).
