National super league sides KCB and Vihiga United on Thursday resolved not contest the Sports Disputes Tribunal decision to demote them from KPL.
The Tribunal made the decision by default on Wednesday while making a ruling that reinstated Sofapaka and Muhoroni Youth to the SportPesa Premier League.
Sofapaka and Muhoroni Youth had been demoted to the National Super League for failing to comply with the club licensing rules in January.
The two teams were consequently replaced with Vihiga and KCB, which finished fifth and sixth respectively in the second tier last season.
Vihiga County Governor Moses Akaranga, who is the team's patron, confirmed abide by the Tribunal’s decision.
"We would have chosen to challenge the decision but that would create a crisis. Our aim now is to compete well in the National Super League and secure automatic qualification without controversy," said Akaranga.
KCB's team manager Josephat Okal affirmed that his side will now focus on promotion.
"Even (Ezekiel) Kemboi was disqualified at the Olympic and the bronze medal handed to the person that finished fourth. If the decision has been reversed we will look to start the season better than last time because we are eyeing a return to the top flight league," said Okal.
