Following an initial four-year term as president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been re-elected for a second term.
The FIA has announced that Mohammed Ben Sulayem will serve a second term as the governing body’s president following a general assembly vote where he ran unopposed.
Ben Sulayem’s re-election was formalized on December 12 in Uzbekistan after interested candidates failed to put together a complete list of vice presidents, rendering their bids void.
The Emirati had no direct rival for the FIA presidency after the interested candidates were unable to fulfill the requirement of naming one person from all FIA global regions.
Ben Sulayem now begins another four-year term, having taken over the position from Jean Todt in late 2021.
The FIA statement mentioned the re-election of Ben Sulayem alongside Deputy President for Sport Malcolm Wilson OBE, Deputy President for Automobile Mobility and Tourism Tim Shearman, and Senate President Carmelo Sanz de Barros. Members also elected the new World Council for Automobile Mobility and Tourism and World Motor Sport Council until the 2029 General Assembly elections.
