Sports: Zokora clarifies why Drogba Lost Ivory Coast FA Presidential offer

Former Cote d'Ivoire international Didier Zokora has clarified why the presidential election of West African country's Football Association former teammate Didier Drogba failed to receive a single vote.

In recent FA presidential elections, Chelsea legend Drogba polled no vote as his rival Sory Diabate polled 11 of the 14 votes cast with three abstainers.

Zokora, who came in for Tottenham Hotspur who was one of the electors, said Drogba failed to win the elections because he ignored his duties as the FA's honorary president and also failed to announce his intention to take part in the contest.

Zokora is quoted as thus; “What we are saying is that Didier Drogba, as honorary president of the Association has never been present at a single meeting. He did not even inform us of his candidacy for the presidency FA. It’s a huge disrespect".
