The Electoral Commission agreed to reject the appeal filed April 5 by Miguel Angel Galan. (President of the CENAFE coaching school) and others against the “list of voters by distribution and members of the RFEF Assembly.” For all these reasons, it cannot proceed with the election procedure due to its procedures in accordance with the calendar approved by the Governing Commission and published in the official announcement. Similarly in the resolution Warns of the possibility of filing an appeal to the Sports Administrative Court (TAS) within five working days counting from this Tuesday. The resolution was signed by Ignacio Prendes, Chairman of the RFEF Electoral Commission.

The decision on the census follows the mandate of the Administrative Court of Sports (TAD) on the 18th to rule on the appeal that it did not accept from Miguel Ángel, David Galan and Mario Otero, in which they challenged the results of the electoral census. because a number of members of the assembly would lose this fortune. They claimed before TAD, repetition of the electoral process due to the expiration of the term of office of 40 members of the Assembly which has now been finally confirmed by the RFEF Electoral Commission.

According to the appellants, This will force primaries to be held before the presidential election to fill these projected vacancies. so that the election of the President shall be void until the seats of the members of the assembly which the appellants claim to be vacant have been filled.

The Commission notes that the TOR itself had already made a decision on this issue on April 15, when it received the same appeal, and shares the opinion of the court. For this reason, the subjects relied upon by the appellants were not expelled from the General Assembly, since no resolution was passed declaring the loss of the condition under which they were elected.

“The obligation to call partial elections to fill vacancies in the Assembly must be fulfilled within two months of the casualties, and the General Assembly can continue to function legally even if some of its members have resigned and are not present. “Proceeded to fill the vacancies subject to the achievement of the minimum quorum required in each case, since there is no obligation to fill the vacancies before calling elections,” the court noted.

The Electoral Commission adds that the requested precaution would also have been rejected if the TAD had previously rejected it. He also points out that if, at the time he rejected the appeal on April 9, he had rejected it as he has now, “the subsequent actions and procedures would have occurred identical to what happened: presentation of candidates, verification of election requirements, including the approval and preliminary proclamation of the candidate for the presidency of the RFEF, so that in this sense nothing prevents its retention.”

“In short, everything would have been the same if resolution 4/2024 of April 9 “This Electoral Commission would have dismissed the appeal rather than making a ruling that the appeal was inadmissible,” it adds, “continuing the electoral process in accordance with its procedures, in accordance with the election calendar approved by the Governing Commission and duly published.”

The election calendar has set April 26 as the date for presidential nominations. The decision by former Management Commission President Pedro Rocha was the only one that had 107 of 138 announced pending possible appeals.

The TAD is due to rule on a case brought against Rocha and the rest of the management company for very serious offenses for allegedly exceeding their duties, a situation that allows the Supreme Sports Council (CSD) to suspend them as a precautionary measure.

On the same day that Pedro Rocha was declared the sole candidate, the court investigating possible violations of RFEF contracts over the past five years changed Pedro Rocha’s status from witness to defendant during his testimony.
