Kenya Police FC head coach Etienne Ndayiragije has boldly declared the FKF Premier League title race over, stating that Gor Mahia have zero chance of stealing the crown, even with two games left to play.
Speaking after his side stretched their lead to six points at the top of the table, the confident Burundian coach claimed Police FC will finish the job this weekend against Shabana FC—rendering the final day clash with Gor Mahia a mere formality.
Police FC Close to History
The Law Enforcers currently sit at the summit with 61 points from 32 matches, six ahead of both Gor Mahia and Tusker FC, who are tied at 55. With only two matches remaining, Police need just one more point to secure their first-ever top-flight league title.
Even if Gor Mahia win both of their remaining fixtures—including the season-ender against Police—Ndayiragije’s side would still clinch the title with a draw against Shabana. It’s a scenario the Police boss is more than confident about.
“We are winning the league in the Shabana game,” said Ndayiragije in an interview with the Daily Nation. “Gor, with their current squad, can’t beat my team. Even if the last match were to decide the title, they have no chance. Not even a miracle can hand them the league.”

Mashemeji Derby Draw Seals Gor’s Fate
Gor Mahia’s fading title hopes took a major hit on Monday after they were held to a 1-1 draw by bitter rivals AFC Leopards in the Mashemeji Derby at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay. Despite taking the lead through Austin Odhiambo’s stunning first-half strike, K’Ogalo were pegged back by a second-half volley from Brian Wanyama.
The draw meant Gor Mahia dropped crucial points, leaving them needing a perfect finish and hoping Police FC lose both remaining matches—an unlikely scenario according to both fans and rivals.
Ndayiragije: We Earned This Moment
While many doubted Kenya Police FC earlier in the season—especially when they were struggling at the bottom of the table—Ndayiragije has led a remarkable turnaround. He credits the team’s discipline, hard work, and strong mentality for their rise.
“The mood in our camp is electric. Every player is excited—we’re on the verge of making history. It has taken hard work, sacrifice, and individual effort. Now, it’s just about finishing the job in our next match,” he said.
Gor Mahia Concede the Title Race
After the derby stalemate, Gor Mahia interim coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno admitted that the title was all but gone.
“I am very disappointed because this is a match we had really planned to win,” said Zico. “I don’t think there is any other chance to win the league. As you can see, the gap is widening between us and Police, and now we cannot talk about the league anymore. Let’s go back and concentrate on the Mozzart Bet Cup.”
Gor will now shift their focus to the domestic cup competition as they look to salvage something from what has been a rollercoaster season.
Double Dream Dies for Police
Despite their dominance in the league, Kenya Police missed out on a league and cup double after being knocked out of the Mozzart Bet Cup in the quarterfinals by Mara Sugar. Still, lifting the league title would represent a landmark achievement for a team that has shown immense growth in recent years.
The leadership of Ndayiragije and the club’s investment in local talent have started to bear fruit, positioning Police FC as one of the rising forces in Kenyan football.
Gor’s Coaching Situation Still Unclear
Meanwhile, Gor Mahia are still operating with an interim coaching setup. The club is said to be actively seeking a foreign head coach, with several applications under review. Whether a new manager arrives before the new season kicks off remains to be seen.
As it stands, the league title is now firmly in the hands of Kenya Police FC. With one hand already on the trophy, and only one point needed from their clash with Shabana, Etienne Ndayiragije’s men are on the brink of making club history—and they want to do it with style.
