Though, all hope not lost for the former Ivory Coast international, Didier Drogba, but report has emerged on why he got zero vote in the Ivoirian Football Association internal election among old players recently held.
According to the Guardian News, the two-time African Player of the year is still considered as the favoured candidate to win the Cote d’Ivoire FA election slated for June despite his failure to secure a vote from members of the Association of former Ivoirian footballers two weeks ago.
Of the 14 members in the Association, 11 voted for Drogba’s rival, Sory Diabate, while three persons abstained. The result of the ex-footballers election sparked a hot debate across the globe, with many soccer fans describing it as ‘deliberate wickedness’ on their part to truncate Drogba’s political ambition.
It was revealed that the the former players who voted against Drogba are supporting Mr Sory Diabate and their reason is that Drogba did not make his intentions of contesting for the election known to them. They also said that Drogba did not attend their meetings. That is why they are not going to support him for the coming election.
Our source reported that all hope not lost for the former Chelsea football club of England talisman as the real FA election will come up by June, and Drogba is still a candidate to beat. The report claims Drogba is enjoying the support of the Ivoirian President. Hopefully, he might spring surprise to win the actual election.
