None of Cote d’Ivoire ex-internationals voted for the ex-Chelsea striker in his presidential quest, and that came as a shock to Victor Ezeji
Victor Ezeji says he was left shocked and unable to comprehend Didier Drogba’s defeat in the Ivorian football presidential election.
The ex-Chelsea star was tipped as the favourite to defeat challengers Idriss Diallo and Sory Diabate to the office.
In Sunday’s election conducted among former Cote d’Ivoire players through video conferencing, the two-time African Player of the Year scored zero out of the 14 votes available.
As well as Drogba, incumbent vice-president Diallo got no votes as league president Diabate reaped 11 ballots, while three withdrew.
