President of the Bartica Football Association (BFA) Alden Marslowe has confirmed that he will more than likely seek re-election when the entity stages its constitutionally scheduled electoral congress of office bearers.
This was disclosed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport. According to Marslowe, the office of the president will be up for election at the impending process, and while he has not confirmed his campaign for re-election, the probable scenario is that he will more than likely seek a second term in office.
He said, “The office will be up for election, I have not decided if I will seek re-election but mostly likely I will. I have not had the opportunity to serve properly and am looking forward to serving. Next year seems promising despite the Covid-19 situation that football will play and I would like to be around for that.”
Marslowe revealed that while the elections are constitutionally scheduled to be staged this year in the month of December, the present health crisis owing to the Covid-19 situation, will force a postponement of the forum until next year. He added, “Constitutionally the election is due to be held at the end of the year but most likely it will happen in January.”
According to Marslowe, the probable postponement of the election illustrates the lack of activity and the overall dormancy of the association during this period, which has affected the entire country. He noted that everything has been grounded to a halt inclusive of the initially scheduled Annual General Meetings (AGM).
He further said, “Nothing for this year has been held because everything is at a standstill because of the Covid-19 situation. We had a few games earlier in the year but no AGM was hosted to date because everything came to a halt as a result of the health crisis.”
