The elections will be presided over by the Malawi National Council of Sports (MNCS) in Lilongwe at Malawi Olympic Committee offices.

According Basmal general secretary Edgar Ng’ong’ola, the election will see candidates contesting for the presidency, vice president, general secretary, vice general secretary, treasurer and directors for youth development, technical, women basketball, competition and compliance as well as marketing and resource mobilization positions.

“We have closed receiving Nominations and our next task is to announce the names of the contestants and their respective positions midway this week.

“Elections for Basmal Executive Committee shall be held once in every four years and the sitting executive committee shall be accorded a two term of office where necessary.

“The last AGM agreed and ratified that the new executive composition should be in line with the International Basketball Federation (Fiba); hence, more positions unlike the current committee which is comprised of seven members.” Ng’ong’ola said.

Meanwhile, Basmal has said it will in due course communicate of other equally important items to be discussed at the AGM.
