Dear viewer,
We found the following:
Ilyumzhinov wins FIDE
Presidential elections 95 to 55
29 September 2010
By Peter Doggers
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov remains FIDE President for at least four more
years. He just won the vote for FIDE President in Khanty-Maniysk
convincingly with 95 votes, to 55 for Karpov, and 3 abstentions.
According to our source in Khanty-Mansiysk, after his
re-election Ilyumzhinov immediately invited Anatoly Karpov to
become Vice-President, to which his opponent hasn't responded
yet.
In case of a close result, the Karpov team might have considered
taking legal action against the many irregular proceedings that
took place today. However, with such a devastating loss (similar
to the result of the presidential elections in 2006 won by
Ilyumzhinov against Bessel Kok), they will most probably refrain
from this.
The Karpov side was optimistic until the last moment, and
expected a close race. However, again the incumbent president
won with a large margin, with most votes coming from small
federations in Asia, Africa and South America.
