They were originally supposed to take place on May 5 but were called off just a few minutes before they were scheduled to start after a High Court injunction was obtained by the Kenyan Taekwondo Association (KTA), who had been barred from participating. 

As a result, the IOC suspended its funding to NOCK and have made it clear it will not be restored until the Elective General Assembly is successfully held.

A deadline of the end of September had been set by IOC to hold the elections.

The IOC have also sent a letter to Kipchoge Keino, who is stepping down as NOCK chairman having served in the role since 1999, urging him to ensure the rules are followed.

"As you know, it is expected that this Elective General Assembly will resume and conclude on Friday, in a serene and peaceful atmosphere, and I count on your personal commitment to ensure that the whole process will be completed successfully, under the full authority of the independent Electoral Board appointed specifically for this purpose, in accordance with the Olympic Charter, your NOC constitution and all previous instructions from the IOC," the letter said.

Former world marathon record holder and double Olympic silver medallist Paul Tergat is due to face Patrick Muyah to replace Keino. 

Muyah is the acting chairman of the Kenya Swimming Federation (KSF), one of several governing bodies whose status before the Assembly remains unclear.

The KSF and KTA both are currently involved in court cases to decide who is in charge of them.

The status of Badminton Kenya, Kenya Cycling Federation, the Kenya Rowinig and Canoeing Federation and Kenya Weightlifting Association is also in dispute.

Kenya's Registrar of  Sports, Rose Wasike, has warned that if any governing body that does not have certificate of registration is allowed to vote then she will declare the elections null and void.

Several figures standing for key positions have also been implicated in corruption allegations arising from Kenya's participation in last year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

They include former KSF chairman Ben Ekumbo, who wants to stand for re-election as deputy first vice-chairman.

In November Kenyan police raided Ekumbo’s apartment in Nairobi, finding both money and a kit full of supplies meant for Kenya’s national team. 

Authorities found Ekumbo hiding under his bed as they investigated further into the stolen property.

He was held in prison for three days before he was formally charged with theft. 

The Centre for Multiparty Democracy of Kenya (CMD-K), the independent group overseeing the elections, claim it is up to the Elective General Assembly to decide whether Ekumbo and other candidates linked to corruption are allowed to stand.

Keino, meanwhile, has written an open letter to mark the end of his 18 years as NOCK President.

The 77-year-old double Olympic gold medallist revealed he had spoken to IOC President Thomas Bach earlier this week and they both agreed it was time to allow the younger generation to take over.

"I would like to wish the incoming office bearers the best of luck in the top office, but I must advise them to be aware of the high responsibilities that come with the high office and that they must be aware of cartels in sports leadership who may derail them by serving their selfish interests first and relegating national service or serving the youth of this country, which must be upheld at all times, to a secondary level," Keino wrote.

"It is an office of high integrity and high expectations by the Olympic Movement.

"I hope they take on the scourge of doping head on, spread the message of fair play and improve athletes’ welfare as their personal and office number one priority."
