Onyango gained 39 votes to beat his challenger Robert Kayanja to the take over leadership at the Association.
He will serve alongside vice chairperson Yusuf Meyan for the next four years with their term set to start in July this year.

“I am humbled to have been elected as chairman for the next four years. I thanks all the delegates for turning in huge numbers to vote for their leaders. I promise to revive the National Pool league and other competitions during my tenure. I trust the team that has been elected and call upon those that lost the election to come and we serve the game together.” Said Onyango
Meanwhile, the outgoing chairman Bob Trubish urged the new executive to resolve long-standing financial audit challenges that have hindered the association.
