Apparently one board member also thinks he shouldn’t have a ballot. Not even to vote for himself.
Barbados Olympic Association (BOA) director Trevor Browne has sided with the Athletics Association of Barbados (AAB), even as a presidential candidate, having agreed that BOA board members shouldn’t be allowed to vote at Wednesday’s elections.
Browne made the case in a press statement yesterday after the AAB tabled a resolution to suspend the voting rights of the BOA’s 11 directors so as to avoid any one candidate starting with a possible 11-vote advantage.
“Careful study of the resolution indicates that it calls for a redress of a long-standing situation of inequality and bias which any democratic and well-meaning person would support,” wrote Browne. (JM)
