Sepp Blatter Wins FIFA Elections, David Cameron & Platini Disappointed by skillsbaba(m): 6:48pm On May 29, 2015 |
Sepp Blatter has been re-elected as FIFA President, and will serve his fifth term from 2015-2019. The voting was conducted on Friday in Zurich by members of the FIFA organization. Blatter defeated Prince Ali of Jordan at the 65th FIFA Congress. With Prince Ali’s defeat, Blatter will continue his role as FIFA President and will embark on a campaign to restore trust in FIFA especially after this week’s arrests of several FIFA officials on corruption charges. In the first round, Blatter won the majority of votes in the first and only round of voting by 133-73. It wasn’t a two-thirds majority, however, which means that a second round of voting would be required to determine the winner. But with Prince Ali of Jordan 60 votes behind Sepp Blatter, Prince Ali decided to withdraw from the race, which means that Sepp Blatter has been elected President of FIFA defying widespread calls for his resignation and a U.S.-Swiss anti-corruption investigation that has rocked the world football body to its core. Blatter won out again reformist challenger Jordan’s Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, who many- including the UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron and UEFA President Michel Platini had hoped would allow the business of reforming FIFA to being anew.What had already been a disputed election- Blatter backtracked on an earlier vow not to seek a fifth term- became a full-blown crisis Wednesday when several top FIFA officials were arrested -Source: http://www.breakingnews234.com/2015/05/sepp-blatter-wins-fifa-presidential.html#sthash.Dkgcd8x3.dpuf

VIVA SEPP BLATTER!!!!!Asia,Africa,Latin America have voted for u once again. For me that was DEMOCRACY 101, in a Democracy you can vote a person many times as you want. As long as the people are happy with the leadership of that person and bennefitting from his style they can vote him/her as many times as they want. DEMOCRACY ISN'T "RECYCLING OF BAD APPLES OOO". Thanx AFRICA, ASIA, LATIN AMERICA for showing the ANGLO-SAXON/GERMANIC PEOPLE(Dutch,Germans,English,Swedes etc..) that the world isn't rotating around ANGLO-SAXON WORLD (Australia,US,NZ,CANADA,UK,GERMANY,HOLLAND,SWEDEN,DENMARK,NORWAY etc..). Gone are the days where Europe decided for everyone, especially western Europe. Democracy isn't about ROTATION OF WRONG BAD RACIST,SUPREMIST etc..PPL. FORWARD WITH ROTATION OF WORLD CUP HOSTS. VIVA BLATTER ONE LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!!! |
