TOSFED Presidential Candidates Ready for Election

Ahead of the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Turkish Automobile Sports Federation, presidential candidates Eren Üçlertoprağı, with 116 delegate nominations, and Mehmet Besler, with 37, submitted their application documents to the TOSFED Istanbul office on 18 February 2019.

During the checks carried out the same day at the General Directorate of Sports Services, it was established in the evaluation stage that 6 delegates of the İzmir Karting Club had given duplicate letters of support to both candidates. As a result, those 6 letters were not taken into consideration for either candidate. In addition, one person among Mehmet Besler's support letters, whose name does not appear on the final delegate list, was also excluded from the evaluation, leaving Eren Üçlertoprağı with 110 and Mehmet Besler with 31 support letters, confirming that both met the required quorum of 30 (thirty) delegates holding support letters containing the written nomination of 15% as stipulated in Article 9/3-e of the TOSFED Main Statute.

The TOSFED Extraordinary General Assembly, at which a total of 200 (two hundred) delegates will vote, will be held at the Meyra Palace Hotel in Ankara on 28 February 2019, and if a majority cannot be achieved, it will be held at the same venue on 1 March 2019...
