EMMANUEL Chimuka was yesterday elected new Zambia Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (ZBBFF) president after beating incumbent Danny Mkandawire during the elections held at NASDEC in Lusaka.

Mkandawire managed only eight votes while Chimuka of T$T gymnasium had 17 to become the new ZBBFF boss.

The other seven executive committee members who include vice president Brown Ng’ambi went through unopposed as there were no people to challenge them.

The new general secretary is Cornelius Chanda who went through unopposed after incumbent Lee Mukupa refused to re-contest his position.

Mukupa, who is Muchinga Ward 24 councilor, said he opted not to re - contest because he wants to concentrate on politics.

Former vice general secretary Christine Chitambala also did not seek re-election and Isaac Simfukwe of Chawama Gymnasium went through unopposed and so was Treasurer Danny Sichilima.

The committee members are former muscleman Lloyd Kyusa, Kalpeshi Pilgoaka and Ephraim Banda.

Chimuka promised to work hard to improve the standards of bodybuilding in the country.

National Sports Council of Zambia (NSCZ) sports development officer in charge of sports associations Khondwani Kaonga urged ZBBFF to be serious and take the sport to greater heights.
