PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC)-Insurance executive Raymond Tim Kee is set to become the next president of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) after the only other contender for the post, Colin Murray, pulled out of the race yesterday.

Tim Kee, an executive with Guardian Life Insurance and a former vice-president of the TTFF, will run unopposed when the election is held next week Sunday, November 11.
Murray, an events and marketing manager, officially announced himself as a (TTFF) presidential nominee and then immediately pulled out of the race for “personal reasons” yesterday.
“I took a decision that I will no longer be running for the presidency,” said Murray at his press conference.
“It is for personal reasons. Congrats to Raymond and I hope he does a good job.”
The former Trinidad and Tobago cricketer refused to give reasons for his decision to pull out and pleaded with the media to respect his need for privacy.
However he hinted to journalists that he was not entirely comfortable with the political nature of the race.
“I am very hopeful that he doesn’t play politics with the football,” Murray told the news conference.
“He must stand up like a man and fight for what is right in football .… He has two years and, who knows, if he does stupidness, I might be back.”
The race to be the next president of the TTFF was shaping up to be a fight between Tim Kee and Murray after Interim president Lennox Watson pulled out of the race on nomination day last week.
The TTFF constitution allows no more than three candidates for an election as each nominee must be supported by two zones.
Tim Kee was proposed by Eastern Counties and Central while Murray was backed by North and South.
“Colin and I are friends and it doesn’t sit well to know you are competing against a friend,” declared Tim Kee in his reaction to Murray’s decision not to contest the position.
“He is a decent man and I told him I will be calling on him for his usual advice.”
