The Annual General Meeting (AGM) and election for the Eastern Football Association (EFA) will go ahead as planned despite a request from president of FC Santa Rosa Keith Look Loy.
On Monday Look Loy, who is a candidate for presidency of the EFA, wrote to the secretary of the EFA requesting that the AGM be postponed because of the limited state of emergency and curfew in Trinidad and Tobago.
Look Loy’s club is asking that consideration be given to changing the meeting to this Sunday morning at 10 am. The EFA annual general meeting is set for tomorrow at 7 pm at the Nelson Madela Hall, Centre of Excellence, Macoya.
According to Look Loy, the request has been sent to facilitate those (clubs) affected by the curfew (9 pm to 5 am) which came as a result of the recently declared limited state of emergency.
When contacted, member of the EFA who will be running for the post of Vice President—Wayne Cunningham said that nothing has changed.
“I spoke to a person from one club who lives as far as Brazil and he was also fine with the original arrangements and I spoke to six other persons from their clubs who were also fine with the arrangement,” said Cunningham.
He continued saying, “In all fairness, it is up to the clubs. I will be in contact with them and will likely have spoken to all representatives by the date, but thus far, nothing has changed.” Look Loy will be contesting the post of president against incumbent Lennox Watson at the meeting on Sunday.
Two weeks ago, Look Loy who is also president of FC Santa Rosa announced his candidacy for president of the EFA along with Roger Griffith for vice-president, Frank Rodriguez for second vice-president and Farlon Thomas and Anil Maraj of the EFA.
Current president Watson, Vice-presidents Wayne Cunningham and Carl Joseph and assistant secretaries Neil Mollineau (Administration) and Joseph Romeo (Operations) have been nominated and are again contesting for the respective posts.
