New Delhi

Former India goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey has defeated Bhaichung Bhutia 33-1 in a one-sided All India Football Federation (AIFF) election for the post of president.

NA Haris defeated Manvendra Singh 29-5 to become the vice president of the country's football governing body.

Kipa Ajay will be the new AIFF treasurer after he defeated Gopalakrishna Kosaraju 32-1, with one vote declared invalid.

It was expected to be close contest between Kalyan and the poster boy of Indian football Bhaichung Bhutia for the post of president, Haris and Manvendra for the post of vice-president and Kipa Ajay and Kosaraju for the post of treasurer, but the one-sided results came as a huge surprise.

After the Supreme Court order, the election was held at the AIFF headquarters in Delhi.

Initially it was decided by around 28 of the 34 state football associations of the electoral college that only one person will file nomination for each post so that he/she can get elected unopposed.
