As a solution, the club patron Prince Kassim Nakibinge has directed immediate election of a new chairman at Wankulukuku for the first time since 2001.

The last democratically elected chairman of the club was Godfrey Kirumira, who served two terms before he quit in 2005.

A six-person delegation led by Express FC vice president Yusuf Katumba met Prince Nakibinge at his home in Kibuli and agreed to reorganise the fan base and then elect a new leader, who will then appoint his executive at the club as per his advice.

Anyone interested in contesting the chairmanship will have to submit their credentials to the board of the club that is led by the prince himself for scrutiny. Nakibinge advised fans' president Katumba to host a meeting on February 14 and explain to the
