FIA approves end to presidential term limits at general assembly

The FIA's general assembly in Macau resulted in a significant decision, passing a proposal to eliminate term limits for its president with over 90% approval. Proposed by current president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, this change allows him to serve beyond the previous limit of 12 years. The FIA stated the move aims to ensure consistent governance across its bodies, although it has sparked criticism regarding the impact on leadership renewal. Ben Sulayem is reportedly considering further changes to the age limit for presidential candidates, which currently stands at 70. The assembly also expanded eligibility requirements for future candidates, increasing the time for submitting vice-presidential support from 49 to 100 days before elections.
