Soccer-Hayatou ousted as CAF president
ADDIS ABABA, March 16 (Reuters) - Ahmad of Madagascar pulled off a stunning upset on Thursday as he ousted long-serving Confederation of African Football president Issa Hayatou from his post by winning an election at the organisation’s congress in Ethiopia. The 57-year-old former government minister, who goes by just a single name, won 34-20 in the poll for the CAF presidency to bring to a surprise end the 29-year tenure of the 70-year-old from Cameroon.
