With a total of 36 votes in favor, Armando Bruni, head of the Salvadoran Badminton Federation, won the presidency of the El Salvador Olympic Committee (COES).
Bruni’s election to the presidency ended the era of Eduardo Palomo, who served as president of COES since 2008, winning the 2012 and 2017 elections, extending his mandate to three terms.
“Thank you presidents of the Sports Federations for choosing me to take command of this great ship and thanks to my team for believing in this project,” said Bruni after being made official as president-elect.
In the vote, the roster headed by Bruni won 36 to 9 over the other led by Fabricio Hernández, president of the Salvadoran Federation of Bodybuilding.
Together with Bruni they assumed: Roberto Calderón as general secretary; Gloria de Hernández will be the treasurer; Sandra de Uceda will be the first vice president; Claudia de Hernández as second vice president; Jorge Cabrera as third vice president, and Salvador Salguero as fourth vice president.
Juan Santiago Estrada, observer from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), was present at the COES General Assembly for the election of the new executive committee.
