The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) recently defended its election process, stating that the vote was conducted in strict adherence to the ITTF Constitution and Statutes, ensuring the full respect of all Member Associations' rights. The federation dismissed unsubstantiated allegations of irregularity, emphasizing its commitment to transparency and fairness.
At the Annual General Meeting in Doha, Sweden's Petra Sorling was re-elected as president with 104 votes, narrowly outpacing her competitor, Khalil Al-Mohannadi, who garnered 102 votes. During the roll-call voting process, doubts emerged and the meeting was suspended following disruptions by outsiders.
In response to the incident, the ITTF has announced an investigation to identify those responsible and to implement measures to prevent similar disruptions in the future. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story! 🏓🤝
