Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has filed a petition challenging Harambee Stars' elimination from the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) quarter-finals by Madagascar.
The petition, lodged in Cairo within the required 48 hours, has been served to CAF, the Madagascar national team, and the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).
In his affidavit, Sonko seeks interim orders to suspend the penalty shootout results that saw Madagascar edge out Kenya.
He argues that two goals scored by Harambee Stars were wrongly disallowed, denying the team a fair chance to progress. ''The conduct by the match officials in the Kenya versus Madagascar quarter-final game is greatly prejudicial to the Republic of Kenya and the Applicant/Complainant herein, as it contravenes the provisions of the CAF statutes and Code,'' reads part of the papers submitted by Sonko.
