France Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the only candidate to succeed himself as president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), is expected to be re-elected on Friday in Tashkent following a contested election process.

Swiss national Laura Villars wanted to run in the election, as did American former FIA steward Tim Mayer.

However, election regulations require candidates to appoint vice-presidents from each of the six global regions, chosen from a list approved by the FIA.
