Bandari is 12th in the league rankings with 10 points, nine points behind league leaders Posta Rangers, and Twaha is sure that the new change in leadership will keep the ship afloat.

"We plead with our fans to show up in large numbers for today's match against Kenya Police Fc and also for Sunday's match against Shabana Fc because their strength is also very important in this process of trying to improve our results in the league," he said.
