In his acceptance speech, Fatchi advised the new committee to work towards the good of the team.

“You have been entrusted with these positions to serve Civo United. Put the interest of the club first so that we can achieve success on and off the pitch. With determination and integrity, we can achieve things at this club. But for this to happen, it starts with you,” said Fatchi.

In the race for the position of vice-general secretary, Ronald Chiwaula won with 166 votes against Tione Andsen’s four.

Charles Mwenda, who was acting general secretary, lost to Edgar Chipalanjiru for the post of vice-treasurer. He received 67 votes against 109.

Super League of Malawi (Sulom) executive committee member Charles Manyungwa, who was presiding officer, described the elections as free and fair.
