Former Gaborone United (GU) chairperson, Rapula Okaile looks set to become the new leader at Extension Gunners when the Peleng giants usher in a new executive committee during their annual general meeting (AGM) tomorrow.

The meeting was scheduled to take place on July 24, 2021, but a decision was reached to postpone by two weeks due to escalating COVID-19 cases across the country. As things stand, no other candidate has raised their hand to challenge Okaile for the position. According to the list released this week, Okaile remains unopposed for the position.

The list, however, is reportedly set to go through a vetting process before it is finalised at a meeting before elections take place. Following the postponement of the meeting two weeks ago, the club opened supplementary submissions for those willing to contest for positions in the executive committee. The previous deadline for submission was initially set for July 13. However, the executive committee later agreed to extend the deadline to July 31. For the position of vice-chairperson, trade unionist, Ketlhalefile Motshegwa has raised his hand together with club legend, Isaac Ncenga. The position is currently held by Ian Kebopetswe.
