NAIROBI, Kenya, May 5 – The much anticipated National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK) elections which were slated for Friday morning in Nairobi have been called off after the Kenya Taekwondo Federation obtained an injunction temporarily putting the process on hold.

NOCK president Kipchoge Keino adjourned the Extra Ordinary General Assembly which was also set to be an elective assembly with the injunction served just before the process started.

The case is set to be heard on Monday.

The Taekwondo Federation was one of the two federations barred from participating in the elections over issues of registration under the Registrar of Societies alongside the Kenya Cycling Federation.

Two of its officials in current deputy treasurer Stephen Soi and James Chacha were also barred from contesting over the same issues as well.

The latest development is set to put Kenya at loggerheads with the International Olympic Committee which had given the country an ultimatum to put its house in order.
