Keino’s unceremonious exit means Tergat, a former marathon world record-holder and 2000 Olympic 10,000 metres silver medallist, will be unopposed at the May 5 National Olympic Committee of Kenya (Nock) elections in Nairobi. “The new law requires anybody contesting for election to get a federation to propose and second him, but I didn’t get. The others are the Kenya Cycling Federation, Kenya Weight-lifting Association and Kenya Badminton Association. Kenya Table Tennis Association president Andrew Mudibo will run for the post of secretary general in Tergat’s camp, while Elina Shiveka is gunning for the post of treasurer. The only other people, who are unopposed besides Tergat, are athletes’ representatives Hellen Obiri (female) and Kenya Sevens legend Humphrey Kayange (male).
