New FIA president elected as only candidate… and still didn’t win all the votes
Mohammed Ben Sulayem was re-elected as FIA president despite being the sole candidate due to unique election rules.
The attempted bids from Laura Villars and Tim Mayer faced challenges in meeting the complex requirements for candidacy, leading to their withdrawal.
Ben Sulayem’s second term was announced in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, with 91.5% of the vote from member clubs.
Critics noted that 8.5% of the clubs did not vote for Ben Sulayem, potentially spoiling their ballots.
Despite the controversies, Ben Sulayem will be joined by Malcolm Wilson OBE, Tim Shearman, and Carmelo Sanz de Barros in his second term.
