AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda has welcomed the decision taken by the Sports Dispute Tribunal to stop the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) from ending the 2019-20 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season.
The FKF through president Nick Mwendwa had moved to announce they had ended the league and crowned leaders Gor Mahia as champions, and also promoted National Super League (NSL) leaders Nairobi City Stars and second-placed Bidco United.
But in a ruling delivered on Tuesday after the KPL took the matter to court in a joint suit with Chemelil Sugar, the SDT chairman John Ohaga overruled the FKF decision until a hearing is held to determine the outcome of the matter.
