Barcelona’s presidential elections set to be postponed

Barcelona’s presidential elections, which had been scheduled for January 24, look set to be postponed, according to multiple reports from Spain.

The club announced on Thursday that there were now three candidates, Joan Laporta, Victor Font and Toni Freixa, left in the race after the validation process had taken place.

Yet it now seems there will be a delay to the voting process because of the coronavirus pandemic and the current restrictions in place.

Catalunya Radio report the club met with the Government on Friday to discuss a way forward and ask about the possibility of voting by post which could take at least a month.
