Former Nyasa Big Bullets\u2019 Supporters\u2019 Committee chairperson, Isaac Osman, has declared his interest in challenging the People\u2019s Team\u2019s incumbent top fan Stone Mwamadi in the elections set for February 4.<\/p>\n
Ironically, Mwamadi rose from vice-chairperson to Chairperson after Super League of Malawi had suspended Osman due to a violence-related incident.<\/p>\n
Osman was slapped with a one-year ban after he was found guilty of taking part in violence during a TNM Super League match between Bullets and Epac in Lilongwe in 2014.<\/p>\n
Declaring his candidature, Osman said some quarters within the Bullets\u2019 family approached him to contest.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have since joined the race because most are saying they will work with Stone. This is a democratic nation and there is nothing wrong with me joining the race. He is my friend and we both love the team. I just want to give our fans a variety. I will outline my manifesto soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mwamadi has since welcomed Osman\u2019s interest, saying he is not disturbed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not surprising that most people that would have challenged me have opted to work with me by vying for other positions. This only shows that I have done enough for this team. Anyway, I welcome his [Osman\u2019s] candidature and may the best win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bullets\u2019 supporters will go to the polls, a week after holding an annual general meeting that is expected to determine the future of the main executive committee\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
