Nations from around the world have written to the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) to express their dismay at the governing body’s failure to publish the list of candidates for forthcoming elections.
There have been complaints of poor governance, a lack of transparency, and giving an unfair advantage to certain candidates on the current IWF Executive Board who have the information that is denied to others.
For the last elections in 2017 the list was published five days after the nominations deadline.
This year, eight days has passed already and there is no sign of the IWF naming the candidates for President, first vice-president, vice-president and a place on the Executive Board.
