Vihiga County under the leadership of Governor Wilberforce Ottichilo have expressed their delight after Vihiga United managed to defeat Kisumu All-Stars to get promoted to the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League.
Despite winning the first leg 2-1, Kisumu All-Stars could not protect the advantage as they lost 2-1 in the return fixture and thus the tie ended at 3-3 after the two-legged affair, prompting the match referee to order for penalties in which Vihiga triumphed 5-3.
"Today is a happy day for the County Government of Vihiga and the Vihiga County sporting fraternity as a whole following the comeback of Vihiga United FC into the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League," Ottichilo said in a statement obtained by Goal.
