Srinivas Dempo
Goa’s one of the leading industrialist and football promoter Shrinivas Dempo is elected the Goa Football Association President.
It was a straight fight between Sporting Clube President Peter Vaz and Dempo. He won by only 10 votes.
Dempo polled a total of 85 votes to beat Peter Vaz's tally of 75 votes.
The elections were as dramatic as a finish of a close football match. Tensions were running high, Dempo and Vaz were both present while the elections were going on and neither of them had the majority, for most of the vote count.
Similarly, Elvis Gomes has been elected as south Goa vice president Lavinio Rebello is elected the north Goa vice-president of the GFA.
In the Mormugao zone Prakash Naik, Savio Messias and Lawrence Gomes were elected as members.
In the salcete zone Benedito Temudo, Benjamin Silva, Anthony Pango, Schubert Furtado were elected.
In the Tiswadi zone, Angelo Albuquerque, Welvin Menezes and Sanjiv Nagvenkar got elected as members.
In Bardez, Babli Mandrekar, Alirio Lobo, Uday Lingudkar and Gajanan kerkar were elected as members.
While congratulating S. Dempo, I wish educated people like him would win in Goan politics as well.
I congratulate Srinivas Dempo for being elected as GFA president. He is a true football lover. He has talent and he has got capacity to improve the standard of football in Goa. Mr. Srinivas now the ball is in your court. Don,t let politics interfere in your field.
Congratulations to Mr. Dempo on winning the elections! One can definitely expect better functioning of the GFA!
Both the aspirants for the top GFA post are well-known, having worked wonders for football and their clubs and most of all they are not politicians.
And the best man won. Congratulations, Mr. Srinivas Dempo, now work wonders and put them on the right track. Cheers!
It is good to see a new face in charge of GFA.
I hope he will promote the game to world standards.
Mickky Pacheco and Churchill Alemao surely would have had an interest in these Elections.It is good to see the owner of Dempo Elected.
Churchill should start hanging his boots up.He was recently in Dubai attending a Tiatr organised by Goans who are on the run from Criminal cases . / criminal acts in Goa.They have no intention of returning to Goa.
Churchill was booed at this Tiatr.Dubai security also did not give him any VIP treatment, that he expects in Goa.
There is rumour his daughter Valanks has been invited to the St. Francis Xaviers Nite in Dubai also organised by these fugitives.
Seems like the Churchill clan will grace any occassion even this organised by criminals to gain Election points.
Cannot the Churchill clan do more rewarding charitable work in Goa instead.?..instead of attending low profile events
Our heartiest congratulations to Mr. Srinivas Dempo.
