FIA subject of ‘legal exchanges’ over Mohammed Ben Sulayem election
The FIA presidential candidate has expressed concerns about the election process, hinting at ongoing “formal legal discussions.”
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, elected as FIA president in 2021, faces challenges in his re-election bid this year.
Tim Mayer and Laura Villars are key contenders, with reports suggesting potential hurdles for Ben Sulayem’s competition.
Ben Sulayem may run uncontested due to the inability of his rivals to assemble a 10-person presidential list as required.
Recent changes to election rules, debated in a controversial FIA General Meeting in June, have sparked debate and legal discussions among candidates.
Villars has raised issues regarding compliance with FIA statutes, emphasizing governance, transparency, and democracy principles for the upcoming election on December 12.
