The FIA presidential election, due to be held next week, will go ahead, but supposed anomalies brought up in legal proceedings means the result may not necessarily stand.
The FIA presidential election, scheduled for next week in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, will proceed as planned, but potential irregularities raised in legal action could impact the final outcome.
Incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem is the lone candidate after his three challengers failed to gather the necessary support according to the rules.
Legal challenges brought forward by Laura Villars led to a ruling in Paris against immediate relief, yet the court acknowledged the need for further examination of election irregularities.
The case will continue in court, with a first hearing set for February 16, 2026, while another hearing is scheduled early next year to address the ongoing dispute.
FIA Forward, led by Tim Mayer and supporting Villars, is advocating for transparency and fairness in the electoral process amidst the legal battles, aiming for a credible and open election.
