After mauling Cameroonian Issah Hayatou in the CAF Presidential election held in Adis Ababa on Thursday, newly elected President of the Confederation Ahmad Ahmad landed home to a rousing welcome.
The new kid on the block was received by the Advisor of the President of Madagascar, the Minister of Sports, the Senate and some deputies in a colourful ceremony.
The victory which is a national achievement for the small Island also saw leaders of some major sports federations in Madagascar gracing the occasion.
Ahmad Ahmad floored incumbent Issah Hayatou with a 14 votes margin to oust him from office, a position the Cameroonian has held for 29 years.
