Election 2009 - WF Presidential Elections for the Term 2009-2012

Updated 16 September 2009

Dear Candidates

Salaamun Alaykum

On Tuesday 15 September 2009 the votes of the Presidential Elections for the term 2009-2012 were counted in the presence of the Councillors elected at Paris Exco to witness the count, my assistant, observers and one of the candidates and I regret to inform you all that I am not able to declare the results given the procedural improprieties and the conduct of the elections in Gujarat.

Accordingly I am not accepting the Gujarat election results as is for the time being.

Therefore, based on the ballots returned, I am not able to declare the final results including the winner of the term 2009-2012 World Federation Presidential Elections.

Upon reflection of my inquiries the Gujarat election will either be accepted, nullified or there may be a re run.

I strongly advise the candidates to stay away from Gujarat directly or indirectly to ensure free and fair inquiries.

With Salaams

Amir Somji
Electoral Commissioner
