Gor Mahia have been handed a major boost by their newly unveiled Deputy Patron as they enter a critical stage of their campaign.

Gor Mahia have been handed a major boost ahead of the FKF Premier League (FKFPL) title run-in.

The defending champions, who recently oversaw their club elections, have reason to smile following the unveiling of their new Deputy Patron.

K'Ogalo's campaign remains a fiercely contested one, and they will need all the motivation they can get, which has been provided in the form of a handsome Kshs 1 million donation by their newly unveiled Deputy Patron, former Cabinet Secretary for Information and Technology Eliud Owalo.

Gor Mahia have announced that lifelong super fan Eliud Owalo will serve as the club’s Deputy Patron to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

This comes on the back of the resignation of the former office holder, former Homa Bay governor Cyprian Awiti, who resigned due to health reasons.

The club confirmed the unveiling in an official statement on Wednesday, April 16, writing, "Eliud Owalo is our new Deputy Patron; to replace Cyprian Awiti who resigned due to health concerns."

The new deputy patron, who also serves as Deputy Chief of Staff in the President's Office, expressed his enthusiasm to get down to business.

Owalo's immediate focus is to oversee plans for Gor Mahia's home stadium and a clubhouse.

“My primary goal as Deputy Patron is to ensure that within the shortest time possible, we facilitate the construction of a stadium for Gor Mahia, a clubhouse, and we will go as far as building houses for the players,” stated Owalo, as quoted by Nation Sports.

The former CS already oversaw the acquisition of Gor Mahia’s team bus, donated to the team through the Eliud Owalo Foundation.
