Tenga takes over from Uganda's Dennis Obua who stepped down after serving one term.

Somalia FA Secretary General Abdighani Said Arab led the race for the executive seats with 10 votes followed Uganda's Justus Mugisha with eight and Lydia Nsekera (Burundi) and Fadoul Hussein of Eritrea with seven each.

Kenya Football Federation (KFF) chairman Hatimy Mohamed lost his bid for an executive seat after garnering three points.

The president will serve for four years while the deputy and the other committee members will serve for two years each.

Tenga nominated Fadoul his deputy, All the four are very capable but Fadoul is most experienced and there is a need to spread leadership across the region for unity purposes.'

Tenga hailed Sudan for qualifying for next year's African Cup of Nations finals. He said it was important that more teams qualify in future.

He said the region has the resources and talent to do well at both national and club levels. "We need to work more closely to nurture these talents and resources to achieve what we want,' he added.

He said the Challenge Cup was the showcase of the region's football and hailed the secretariat for getting the GTV sponsorship, which he said, would go a long way in lifting the game in the region. GTV are sponsoring the senior Challenge Cup to the tune of US

Hongera sana Tenga, kuchaguliwa kwako ni kielelezo cha heshima iliyonayo nchi yetu na uongozi wetu. Chini ya uongozi wako tunatarajia mabadiliko makubwa ndani ya ndani ya CECAFA.

Tunautambua uwezo wako uwanjani; enzi hizo, lakini kwenye uongozi bado hatujaona, wengi wetu wanayaona magofu ya kiwanda cha LRT Mbagala ambacho wewe ulikuwa mkurugenzi kwa miaka mingi; bila shaka CECAFA itakuwa salama mikononi mwako.

Hongera Leodgar Chilla Tenga!

Ni omar Kapera, sio Mwamba kapera

Mkuu hilo ndilo lilokuwa jina lake maarufu mtaaani, lakini Omar ndio jina lake la kwenye karatasi,

Mkuu Mzalendo,

Hiyo ilinipita mkuu kuwa Omar Mahadhi alikuwa bado hajatoka Coastal Union ya Tanga na kuingia Simba, umenikumbusha mkuu Athmani Mambosasa, halafu nafikiri nilimsahau pia Willy Mwaijibe, au?
