Continued uncertainty in Ecudaor over elections for FENA Officers
Continued uncertainty in Ecudaor over elections for FENA Officers
GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR--Reports from Ecuador indicate that at the end of September the nation's Sports Minister held officer elections for 10 of Ecuador's sports federations. Among the 10 federations was the
Ecuadorian Swimming Federation, Federación Ecuatoriana de Natación (FENA). The action by the government agency has caused the Ecuador Olympic Committee to not recognize the results from the elections, in part because proper procedure was not followed. The Sports Minister was attempting to place officers for a term from 2012-16. In this election, Marcelo Carrión was named the new FENA president, replacing existing president Jorge Delgado, who was not even aware that elections were taking place. FENA appears to have not accepted the election, and Delgado remains in office. Further information on the situation can be found online [in Spanish] here:
