The vote has turned into a soap opera marred by incessant infighting, attracting international attention because FIF had appeared to be trying to freeze out Didier Drogba as a potential candidate.

A FIF emergency committee ruled the electoral commission was "suspended for serious shortcomings" and scheduled an extraordinary general meeting on August 29 to install another commission.
