Uganda’s Omollo re-elected Africa Golf president in Tunisia

What the report says

Uganda’s Johnson Omollo has been re-elected president of the Africa Golf Confederation, retaining the continental post at an assembly in Hammamet, Tunisia, according to The Independent Uganda. The vote was unopposed and took place on the sidelines of the All Africa Team Championship at La Foret Golf Course. The report says he was endorsed by the member countries present and that the election also had support from The R&A, golf’s world governing body.

Omollo first assumed the AGC leadership in 2022 in El Gouna, Egypt. The article portrays his return as a signal of continuity for a leadership group that has focused on grassroots growth, junior golf and cooperation among African federations. In his remarks, as quoted by the publisher, he framed the result as a win for the continent and pointed to plans under a “One Africa, One Golf” approach.

The story also notes that the event came during a record-sized All Africa Team Championship, with 17 nations competing in Tunisia. It adds that the AGC leadership team saw several other returns and changes, including retained and newly filled offices in the executive structure. The broader significance, as described in the report, is that Omollo’s second term is expected to advance development efforts and a cooperation agreement with the Arab Golf Federation on technical and youth-related initiatives.
