Six years after walking away from the Presidency of the Kingston and St Andrew Football Association, KSAFA, Ambassador Stewart Stephenson has officially launched his bid to lead the all powerful confederation once again.
A seven-member contingent put forward as “Team Success” with Stewart Stephenson leading the pack, means incumbent Rudolph Speid could have a strong challenge on August 2.
Carvel Stewart of Harbour View and Mark Bennett of Brown’s Town will be the first and second Vice Presidential candidates on Stephenson’s slate.
Speid turned back the challenge of Leon Mitchell at the polls to earn a third successive term in office in 2012, and he believes a fourth is on the horizon.
Stephenson said the management of KSAFA has failed the clubs and this is evident in reduced sponsorship for youth competitions and none for the seniors.
It’s the incumbent, who normally selects the director of elections at KSAFA elections, but Speid will have a challenge come election day.
No venue has been set for the election on August 2, but the race is well on for the leadership of the nation’s most powerful confederation.
