The Executive Director of Al Wasl Club, head of the elections committee in five sports federations, Muhammad Al-Amri, affirmed his happiness in working and cooperating with various sports federations in order to supervise their own elections, noting that the electoral committee he chairs also supervised, in 2020, the general assembly elections of the League. Professionals.
The general assemblies of the swimming, hand, plane and bicycle federations had assigned Al-Amiri to chair their electoral committees, after the statute of each federation was approved in exceptional circumstances due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, and the same committee had supervised the recent FIFA elections, which included The elections committee chaired by Al-Amiri each of Mohammed Kahour, Counselor Hamdan Al-Zeyoudi, Counselor Hassan Al-Marzouki, and Counselor Yusef Ahmed.
During the next two months, the sports arena will witness elections for most of the boards of directors of sports federations for the 2020-2024 electoral cycle.
Mohammed Al-Amri told «Emirates Today»: «The beginning of the work of the Election Commission was in 2016, and during the year 2020 was assigned to supervise six elections without obtaining any financial compensation for any member, as the committee makes a very great effort, and the work is divided among the members of the committee. Because of the difference in the election system in each federation, and therefore each advisor assumed a sports federation, and at the same time we work as advisors for each other in relation to determining the principles, times and program of elections in the sports federations.
He added: “The confusion that occurred in the recent period in the various federations due to the adoption of the federations’ statute at the end of the electoral cycle, that is, immediately before the poll, contributed to the existence of linkages, and unfortunately it is an unhealthy thing, and it was better for the basic systems to be approved long ago, even It is not said that this system, or regulation, was implemented in order to deport certain individuals.
He added, "The positives of the current stage are many, including that four years ago we did not have basic systems in all federations except for the Football Association, but now most federations except the Athletics Federation have a basic system."
Al-Amiri added: “I would have liked that there would be basic materials present and common among the federations in general, for example in the matter of the president’s academic qualification, the university’s qualification or its equivalent should have been approved in all federations, so as not to interpret that this item was implemented to serve a specific person. Or, for example, the eight-year clause (two election sessions for the president and members and not giving them the right to run again). All articles, if applied in general, would definitely be better.
Al-Amiri pointed out that allowing the media to attend the general assemblies for laying down the basic systems of federations was a positive thing for more transparency, and the status of the sports street in what is happening in the various federations, which is a positive point that occurred in the recent period, in addition to the strong participation of clubs to discuss the systems, revealed a strong desire From the side of the clubs in a good electoral cycle ahead.
Al-Amiri added: “Every union has a specific period of time in the electoral program, from announcing the reception of candidates, announcing the official list and appeals to names and others, which forces committee members to work on dates and conditions, in addition to their work and family time, while the swimming union delegated the election committee To set the timetable and inform the federation of it in order to circulate to the clubs ».
