Mohammed ben Sulayem and three other individuals had revealed their intentions to submit to the post of Faith President. However, the results of the December 12 election have already been released, as Sulayem is expected to be not offered due to a smart one surrounding the presidential lists that each candidate must submit.
Sulayem became the President of the FIA in 2021 while he succeeded Jean Todt In the paper. But for anyone who answers the presidential headquarters, there are some rules and rules that must be followed, which are in the statutes of the FIA.
First, the candidate should be less than 70 years old on election day. In addition, a person cannot fulfill more than three mandates of four years or 12 years in the presidential office and must present a presidential list that includes ten more people for several roles within the FIA.
Within the presidential list, each candidate must consider a proposed president of the Senate, a Vice President of Mobility and Automobile Tourism, a Vice President of the Sport, along with seven vice presidents in the same role.
This list would include a Vice President of Sport, one from North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, Africa, Mena (Middle East and North Africa), and two must represent the European continent. Also, the FIA has revealed the 29 candidates who are eligible for the role, along with the prohibition that no person can repeat on the chair lists of two candidates.
With each candidate, he must submit a valid presidential list on October 24 to formally enter the election, with wide paper options. Does this ask the question of what to give Mohammed Ben Sulayem the edge of his rivals in the next election?
Why will Mohammed Ben Sulayem run without opposing the presidential election?
Although the list that La Fia has published has enough options for the two proposed candidates to make their candidacy a valid presidential candidacy, the reality on the ground is different.
The rule of the FIA, which prohibits the same person from appearing on two different presidential lists, has given its rivals on the shores of its rivals. The list of 29 candidates from the Motor Sport Council World Cup has several people who could fight for the same place, apart from one, that is, Fabiana Ecclestone in Brazil.
She is the only candidate eligible for the Vice President Spot of South America. This is where the plot of the plot is, as Fabiana has already stated his support for Sulayem in the election.
This means that Mohammed Ben Sulayem will be the only one to have a valid presidential list, as Fabiana is scheduled to be part of the Emirati list. This would make the list of their rivals incomplete for the nomination process.
What can Mohammed Ben Sulayem opponents do now?
Without any possible option, some may suggest that Mohammed Ben Sulayem rivals do not make sense to continue their campaign. However, this is not what the candidate for the presidency of the FIA, Laura Villars, has decided to fulfill.
He has taken the matter in his own hands, as he revealed that his legal team has a conversation with the FIA on the subject, as he said (through Via The race):
“Formal exchanges are currently in progress between my legal team and the administration of the FIA, as the current election procedure proposes legitimate concerns in accordance with the Statutes of the FIA. The independent legal opinions obtained by my team also confirm that several recent procedure changes are inconsistent with the by -laws and they must be corrected.”
“ According to article 1.3 of the FIA Statutes, the Federation must maintain the highest standards of governance, transparency and democracy. All options, including legal and judicial, are therefore taken into account to ensure that these principles are fully respected, in accordance with the state of the FIA as a non -profit French law association. ''
Although there may be light at the end of the tunnel for Mohammed Ben Sulayem rivals in the election, the time to put their arguments with the FIA is limited. With less than two weeks remaining in the Council to submit a valid candidacy, there is a great chance that the 63-year-old will answer the December election without opposing and will begin the second term at the helm of La Fia.
