The prestigious event brought together top officials and stakeholders from across the continent to discuss the future of weightlifting in Africa.


In his reaction to his election, the widely traveled official said: “This forms part of my happy moments in weightlifting. I feel fulfilled that I have been elevated in a sport to which I have committed myself, and this will help me contribute to the development of weightlifting in Nigeria, Africa, and globally.”


At the Electoral Congress, Mr. Khaled Mhalhel from Libya was re-elected as President of the Weightlifting Federation of Africa, while South African Dr. Kevin Duploy was elected as the 1st Vice President. Other elected members of the Technical Committee are Mr. John Ogolla from Kenya, Mr. Horst Sayler from Eswatini, and Mr. Faried from Morocco.


The congress, which was observed by the 1st Vice President of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), Ursula Papandrea, will be followed by the 2025 African Weightlifting Championship, scheduled from April 20 to 28, an exciting competition that will see some of Africa’s finest weightlifters showcase their strength and skill on the platform.
