According to the electoral roll approved at the beginning of the annual meeting in Stockholm in March, there were 348 eligible voters. When the meeting was to elect a chairman, 357 votes were cast, i.e. nine more than the previously approved electoral roll. The incumbent chairman Ramon Malavés received one vote more, 179, than the opposing candidate Sadik Sadik, 178, according to Dagens Nyheter.
Karate club Vittsjö Shotokan is one of several associations that have reported the suspected manipulated electoral roll to the Swedish Sports Confederation, Swedish sports' highest court.
We were many who reacted to the fact that there were more voters than on the electoral roll and I must say that I am surprised that the chairman of the annual meeting approved this, says Vittsjö Shotokan's chairman Urban Andersson to DN.
