With four days to closing of the voting lines, Western Stima has pushed Rangers FC from the top-four teams of the Kenya Power Charity Cup.  

However, the recently-relegated side still has a chance to play in the Saturday 2 February one-day tournament.

Gor Mahia, and AFC Leopards are the respective top two teams, while 2012 Tusker Premier League Champions Tusker FC are third, in terms of vote-distribution.

The pool of teams from which fans are voting comprises all the 16 teams that played in the Kenyan Premier League in 2012 (including now-relegated Oserian and Rangers) and the top three teams from each of the two zones of the Division One league (Bandari, Bidco United, Admiral; Kakamega Homeboyz, Nzoia United, Agrochemicals.)

The winner will take home a $10,000 (approx. KSh840,000) cash prize, while the runners up will bag $6,000 (approx. KSh540,000). 

The third and fourth-placed teams will each take home $2,000 (approx.KSh168,000).

Voting will be done by sending a message containing the team’s name to short-code number 2542. SMS will be charged at KSh20 per message, with auditing functions being assigned to Deloitte and Touche.
