The just concluded IAAF elections saw changes at the council where long serving Kenya athletics chairman Isaiah Kiplagat exiting the IAAF.
The long serving president of Kenyan athletics lost his bid for the vice presidential position and also lost his seat at the IAAF council member, a post he has held since 1999.
Kiplagat had stepped aside from his post as Kenyan athletics Chief to concentrate on the elections.
The president of the confederation of African athletics Hamad Kalkaba Malboum from Cameroon has been elected as one of the vice presidents of the world athletics governing body.
Previously council members, both Isaiah Kiplagat and Malboum were gunning for the same seat.
Kiplagat, who stepped aside as AK president in April this year, was up against seven contestants, including the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) president, Hamad Kalkaba Malboum from Cameroon.
Ukraine’s Sergey Bubka was also listed as one of the contestants for the vice president’s seats even though he faces Briton Sebastian Coe for the IAAF presidency.
