Abhay Singh Chautala set to become new president of IOA
The
three-member IOA Election Commission, headed by retired Justice Anil
Dev Singh, was expected to make a formal announcement and put up the
final list of candidates by today.
With
most of the candidates owing allegiance to Randhir Singh withdrawing
from the fray, many of the candidates belonging to the Chautala camp
will be elected unopposed.
Meanwhile,
IOA Acting President Vijay Kumar Malhotra had a series of meeting with
senior officials in the wake of the International Olympic Committee's
latest threat to suspend India if the IOA followed the Government's
Sports Code for the December 5 polls which according to the apex body
violates autonomy of IOA.
According
to reports an IOA delegation comprising Narinder Batra and eminent
lawyer R K Anand will meet the Sports Minister and other senior
officials.
They are expected to go to Lausanne to have a meeting with top IOC officials on Saturday or Sunday.
