Ahmed Ahmed is the new president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Ahmed, who is from Madagascar beat Cameroonian Issa Hayatou by 34 to 20 votes in the election which held on Thursday at the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Before his defeat, Hayatou led CAF for 29 years following his election in 1988.

The surprise result, which was announced Caf’s 39th General Assembly in Addis Ababa, prompted shock and celebration across social media, with many fans, pundits and observers celebrating the departure of the 70-year-old, who has been accused of various controversies during his long stint at the helm.

Finally... This power drunk man has been booted out. After 29 years at the helm of affairs at caf, he still wanted another 8 years!

biko, Ogbeni, pack your load and go!

All the corruption you have been sitting on, will soon be exposed

Thank God!!!!

Lataaaaro! finally d demise of CAF Hayatou and rebirth of African football

Make African football see front small. Since his Oga Blatter has been unofficially imprisoned, he would definitely have nothing to hold voters to Ransome with.

Yaaayy!!! Finally! Can we breath fresh air now?

Amazing victory

Finally...Change they say is d only constant thing..Let's hope this change brings good tidings for Africa football

Another old man? there's no point voting out Issa when you vote in another aged man. See the innovations Infantino is bringing to FIFA. CAF needs youthful energy to go beyond her present day clandestine and archaic management style.

Congrats

Nothing is permanent, even permanent secretary is not permanent
