PT Usha gets fresh hope in IOA presidential race after electoral college nomination via Ice Hockey Federation | Sports-Games

  • Indian Olympic Association President PT Usha was nominated to the electoral college on Thursday via the Ice Hockey Association of India , keeping her in contention for the December 5 Executive Council elections.
  • Usha's re-election bid suffered a setback three days ago when she failed to secure a place among the eight Sportspersons of Merit , receiving 40 votes amid allegations of external pressure in the election process.
  • The 71-strong electoral college for December 5 includes 60 National Sports Federations members, eight SOMs, and IOC representatives. Prominent figures like Adille Sumariwalla, Saina Nehwal, and Gagan Narang are among those contending for positions.
  • Submission of objections to the provisional electoral college occurs on Friday, with scrutiny and verification scheduled for Saturday before the final electoral roll is announced on Sunday.
  • Officials are monitoring whether Usha will present India's Olympic bid on November 26, a role she was initially scheduled to perform before the electoral controversy emerged.
