A historical number of 98 Federations out of 101 attended the FIM General Assembly on Tuesday at the Venetian Hotel in Macau, China.

The members of the FIM General Assembly elected Vito Ippolito (Venezuela) for a second term of four years by 55 votes versus 41 votes cast for his opponent, Mr Jean-Pierre Mougin.

The FIM General Assembly also elected Nasser Khalifa Al Atya (Qatar), Jorge Viegas (Portugal) and David White (Australia) as FIM Vice-Presidents. David Francis (United Kingdom) and Stig Klemetz (Sweden) were elected as Internal Auditors. All the mandates are for four years.

“I am very pleased with this victory," Ippolito said, "which is more a collective victory of the Federations and the people who have worked hard on the elaboration of the strategic plan and the new governance for the last four years. It is a collective work conducted with transparency and high motivation. We will continue to build altogether the FIM destiny.”
