Chapter 902 The Most Critical Vote

Diack wanted Sebastian to step down, and Sebastian would naturally not sit still. The 33 votes became the focus of contention between the two sides. The two of them can be said to use various relationships, just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers, fighting for every vote.

Within the IAAF, both sides originally had some supporters, and those directors who were neutral became the targets of both sides' scrambling to win over.

Soon it was polling day.

Many votes in Western countries are registered ballots. It is clear at a glance who the voters voted for. Compared with secret ballots, secret ballots can avoid some black-box operations and off-stage transactions, making voting a responsibility. Will give the green light to avoid responsibility. Therefore, in many elections in the West, it is difficult to achieve some 80 to 90 percent of the votes.

Of course, secret ballot voting also has certain advantages, such as avoiding embarrassment, avoiding retaliation afterwards, and protecting voters from the influence of other people's voting choices, etc.

Which voting method to choose depends on the actual situation. In many western developed countries, the legal system is relatively complete, and the people's self-awareness is relatively strong, so even if they vote by name, there will be no situations such as embarrassment or retaliation. They have the ability to choose to vote by name.

And in many international organizations, their votes are often registered, just like the largest United Nations, when member states vote by name, whoever votes for and who votes against who abstains, which permanent member uses the veto power, all The world knows it all.

Today's IAAF vote to impeach Sebastian was also a registered vote.

The 33 representatives or directors with voting rights all gathered in the conference room. At this time, everyone did not talk too much, as if to avoid being influenced by each other. In fact, before this kind of voting, it is generally like this. Once the voting is over, and there is nothing to do, they will start talking and laughing one by one.

Sebastian has already arrived at the scene. As the chairman of the IAAF, he is also a party to the impeachment incident. There is no trace of panic on Sebastian's face, but he is still full of confidence look.

Diack also came to the meeting room. Every IAAF president will become the honorary chairman of the IAAF after retiring. Diack came to witness as the "IAAF Honorary President". This kind of voting always requires several witnesses, and it is reasonable to meet Diack.

But everyone knows that Diack didn't just come to be a witness. He watched Sebastian's impeachment. This impeachment is actually a struggle between the old and new chairmen.

The host briefly announced the voting rules, and then announced the start of voting. At this time, he should not say too much. If he said too much, he would be regarded as intentionally interfering with the vote.

The oldest vice-chairman who was the first to vote, walked to the right to vote and pressed the button for impeachment without hesitation.

The oldest vice-chairman was the vice-chairman of the IAAF during the Diack era, so he is an old man of Diack, and he also supported Diack when he voted.

Immediately afterwards, the second vice chairman who entered the court voted against impeachment. Although the vice chairman was not young, he was won by Sebastian into his camp.

The third vice-chairman is a middle-aged man who is less than fifty years old. He is from an Eastern European country. He is already very dissatisfied with Sebastian's move of favoring countries such as Britain and the United States, so he voted for it.

The fourth vice-chairman was single-handedly promoted by Sebastian. He voted against without hesitation and stood by Sebastian's side.

The vice-chairman of Thinking had a 2-2 tie, and the treasurer who came up immediately after him voted in favor.

The treasurer is responsible for the financial management of the IAAF. If Sebastian wants to investigate corruption within the IAAF, the first thing to do is to check the accounts. Sebastian looked for corruption and sided with Diack.

Immediately after that came the representatives of the Six Continental Athletic Federation. Among them, representatives from Africa voted in favor, and representatives from Oceania and Central and North America voted against. The positions of these three representatives are relatively clear. Representatives from Asia, Europe, and South America abstained from the vote. There are many countries in these three continents, and there are relatively large internal differences on the impeachment of Sebastian, so they simply abstained from the vote, and the two will not help each other.

There are now 4 votes in favor, 4 against, and 3 abstentions. The next round of fifteen directors voted.

"Joseph, he voted for it!"

"Passy voted no."

"Williams also voted no."

"Alexander voted for it!"

The positions of the directors seemed to be relatively clear, and no one abstained from voting.

"It's Clarkson's turn, he should vote against it!"

"Clarkson has always supported Sebastian, and he will definitely help Sebastian."

People whispered, but the director named Clarkson pressed the abstention button.

"What? Clarkson didn't object, he abstained!"

"Huh?" Sebastian's expression finally changed slightly. This Clarkson originally belonged to his own camp, but now he has abstained from the two sides, which is equivalent to making Sebastian's side lose one vote.

The variable finally appeared!

Sebastian forgot to glance at Diack who was sitting not far away, and Diack had a satisfied smile on his face.

"It's that old fellow Diack, who promised Clarkson some kind of favor! Damn it! But don't get too excited!" Sebastian's eyes flashed coldly.

Moments later, a black man walked to the voting area and pressed the no button.

"**** voted against, he actually supported Sebastian!"

"****** was promoted by Diack himself when he was the president of the IAAF. If there was no Diack,****** can only be an ordinary sports coach in Africa now. Diack for* From the point of view of ****, she has the kindness of knowing you, but I didn't expect **** to betray Diack!"

The people below were discussing in low voices, but Diack's face became ugly.

This director named **** was originally a track and field athlete in Burkina Faso, a small African country. He did not achieve decent results in the athlete era. After retiring, he was appreciated by Diack, who is also a member of the African The fellow promoted him to the IAAF. If it weren't for Diack's promotion, he might only be able to stay in that poor Burkina Faso for the rest of his life.

Diack originally thought that the police would definitely support him, after all, he was kind to him. But I didn't expect the Communist Party to betray on the spot.

"What is the kindness of knowing you? It can't compare with the real benefits! I promised to help his children study in the UK and provided scholarships. After receiving such practical benefits, how can **** still stand on your side? !” Sebastian smiled triumphantly.

Clarkson just abstained from voting, which was equivalent to one less vote for Sebastian, but now **** directly voted against, which is equivalent to one less vote for Diack, and Sebastian There is one more vote over there, but there is a difference of two votes inside and out!

Finally, all fifteen directors voted. The result was 10 votes in favor of impeachment, 12 votes against impeachment, and 4 abstentions. Sebastian temporarily took the lead.

Then there are six committee chairmen under the IAAF to vote, and these six people are equivalent to directors in the IAAF.

"With 4 abstentions, 33 votes become 29. In this way, as long as you need to get 15 votes, you can get more than half. I have 12 votes now, and I can get the last 3 votes. Six Chairman of the committee, if there are exactly three people who express their support for me, I have already won!" Sebastian thought excitedly.

The chairman of the medical committee stepped forward and voted against it. As the chairman of the International Tina Medical Committee, he is one of the people who dealt with athletes' doping immunity, so he will definitely side with Sebastian.

"13 votes, 2 votes short!" Sebastian secretly clenched his fists.

The chairman of the technical committee walked to the voting area and also voted against impeachment.

"Great, 14 votes, one vote short! Next, the chairman of the cross-country committee also supports me, and the chairman of the women's committee is neutral. I will win!" Sebastian is already preparing to celebrate the victory.

Seeing the chairwoman of the women's committee walk up to the voting area, he hesitated for a second, and then pressed the button for impeachment.

"What? Didn't she want to remain neutral before? She changed her mind temporarily!" Sebastian's heart tightened, but he was not in a hurry because the next chairman of the cross-country committee to vote was Sebastian Ann's people.

The chairman of the cross-country committee stepped into the voting area, reached out and pressed the button for impeachment.

Sebastian stood up abruptly. His eyes widened, and he looked at the chairman of the cross-country committee with disbelief.

In Sebastian's view, this was supposed to be his own vote, and it was a winning vote, but he was bought off by Diack!

The current situation is 12 votes in favor, 14 votes against, 4 abstentions!

...

Diack narrowed his eyes slightly, and he did not expect that the situation would be so passive. Originally in his plan, both sides should have 13 votes now, and the next two votes will also be yes votes. At that time, more than half of the yes votes will be 15 votes, and the impeachment is successful!

However, **** betrayed him at a critical moment, causing him to lose two votes inside and outside, so now he is behind by two votes.

"Fortunately, I have prepared a backhand. I persuaded the chairmen of the women's committee and the cross-country committee yesterday! Otherwise, I have already lost!" Diack was also in a cold sweat at this time.

The chairman of the race walking committee voted in favor.

The Chairman of the Old Athletes Council voted in favor.

The advantages and disadvantages of the scene have changed in vain. Sebastian, who was short of the last vote to win, is now tied!

14 votes in favor of impeachment, 14 against impeachment, 4 abstentions!

Now there is only one last vote left, the vote from the athlete representative! This is the most critical vote! It's the deciding vote.

All eyes are on one person, he is the athlete representative: Usain Bolt!

The second chapter is delivered, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass. There was a clerical error in the last chapter, it was six committees.
