The two petitions are challenging the authority of the FKF Electoral Board to make changes to the Electoral Code and the legality of the regulations issued by the Kentice Tikolo-led board on August 11. They also want the voters register cleaned up and the criterion of how the delegates are to be determined set out. FKF also maintains that the tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear the petition as framed, especially where FIFA is listed as a Respondent. They further argue that the court is not bestowed with first-instance jurisdiction on FKF election disputes. Neither Section 58 nor 59 of the Sports Act gives the SDT the jurisdiction to hear matters against FIFA.
