FIA Confirms Ben Sulayem as Sole Candidate in December Presidential Vote

A December 3 court ruling on a rival's complaint could determine whether the December 12 Tashkent election proceeds.

Overview

  • The FIA published its accepted presidential lists and declared only Mohammed Ben Sulayem eligible for the ballot.
  • Ben Sulayem’s ticket names 10 team members across required roles and regions, including Fabiana Ecclestone as the South America vice-president for sport.
  • Rival hopefuls Tim Mayer, Laura Villars, and Virginie Philippot were unable to assemble full regional slates due to the approved candidate pool.
  • Villars won a hearing at the Judicial Court of Paris, with the judge set to issue a decision on December 3 that could suspend or modify the vote.
  • The FIA says the nomination rules are longstanding and transparent, and it continues preparations for the December 12 election in Tashkent.
