Infantino pay less than his No 2 in new-look FIFA

CAS said that Prince Ali acted, "To safeguard the integrity of the voting process and to ensure that the vote is conducted in secret". This call was rejected by FIFA's election commission.

The many criticisms of holding this election now, with U.S. and Swiss criminal investigations ongoing - including into that £1.35m payment by Blatter to Platini, which both men say is for work the Uefa president had finished at Federation Internationale de Football Association nine years earlier - included the tired observation that the candidates were travelling round the world doing backroom deals, just like the bad old days. "I regret that the system let us down". The only positive aspect of today's ruling is it that the election will now go forward as planned, and the media will be closely watching for any evidence that anyone is photographing their ballot.

The FIFA presidential election entered a second round of voting for the first time in 42 years after Gianni Infantino secured more votes than favourite Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al Khalifa at the extraordinary congress in Zurich.

"Only a transparent booth can prove that each voter is following his heart and conscience and that there are no forced votes, by preventing voters taking photos of their voting paper to prove that they have followed voting instructions", Renaud Semerdjian, one of the lawyers, told AFP.

Congress is with whom? Anurag said, "For a BJP member, nation comes first, party comes next and individual comes last". When we saw both issues have been taken together, we felt this issue (Vemula's suicide) will be suppressed.

Prince Ali's legal representatives wanted clarification on the enforcement of those measures and the sanctions available for any violation of the ban by delegates after being less than satisfied by the response received from FIFA's ad-hoc electoral committee.

On this day, Blatter has a different focus, claiming he has stopped being a workaholic, though he will pursue an appeal to clear his name at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. "I think we will certainly try to win some tournaments", Dyke said.

"I am sorry that he has to be remembered in this way where he has been banned for six years", he said.

"The world of football needs such a rational and practical person". "I'm not fighting for anything else". He said: "My central point throughout the campaign has been the honesty and integrity of the election, principles worth fighting for". And now having a new president, the man I thought was the best candidate because I know him very well, I know what he is capable of. "On February 22nd, I appealed to CAS and requested an expedited hearing to resolve the matter before Friday's election".

Gianni Infantino was elected as the new Federation Internationale de Football Association president on Friday.

Prince Ali is one of the five candidates to succeed Sepp Blatter as FIFA President on Friday, Feb. 26, 2016.

Infantino stunned pre-election favourite Sheikh Salman of Bahrain by beating the Asian confederation president 115-88 in a second round of voting when rivals Prince Ali of Jordan collected four votes and Jerome Champagne failed to garner any.

"Each of these measures is critical for the future of FIFA and global football". UEFA later urged its members to support Blatter - who promised them it would be his final term - against Mohamed bin Hammam of Qatar. "It is a collective responsibility we have for football".
