FIA presidential hopeful Tim Mayer has conceded his election hopes are over and lodged seven ethics complaints regarding the FIA’s democratic processes
FIA presidential hopeful Tim Mayer has acknowledged that he will not be able to pursue his election campaign as incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem remains unchallenged.
Mayer expressed shock at the lack of election competition and emphasized his commitment to reforming the FIA’s democratic process by filing complaints regarding potential ethics violations.
Due to election rules, only Ben Sulayem meets the criteria to run in the December ballot, creating an unavoidable scenario where no other candidates can participate.
Mayer, while disappointed, remains resolute in his mission to advocate for change within the FIA and protect its integrity.
Questions regarding democracy and governance within the FIA have been raised due to the lack of a competitive election process, with concerns about transparency and accountability impacting the organization’s credibility.
Despite obstacles, Mayer continues to engage with official FIA channels and hopes for a resolution that upholds the values of democracy and fairness in the institution.
