Opposition candidate Ademar struggles to vote over alleged club debt | OneFootball

An unusual episode marked the voting morning in the Fluminense presidential elections this Saturday (29). The opposition candidate, Ademar Arrais, faced difficulties when trying to exercise his right to vote in Laranjeiras.

According to information gathered by Jornada KTO 1902, the candidate was blocked by the system, which indicated a supposed debt in his membership plan. According to the club's statutory rules, it is mandatory to be up to date with financial obligations to participate in the election.

Ademar's advisory contested the existence of the debt, stating that the candidate had no outstanding issues. However, to expedite the process and resolve the impasse, the team reported that the payment of the indicated amount was made right there, on the spot, “to avoid a headache.” After regularization, Ademar voted at the ballot box with a physical vote.

The vote counting is taking place at the club's headquarters and should determine the new tricolor leader in the coming hours.
