Emelec's assembly of partners convened to elect a new board amid heavy rain, with notable figures José David Jiménez and Cristhian Noboa leading the only candidate list.
On February 21, during heavy rainfall, 438 members of the Club Sport Emelec gathered at the Capwell stadium for the assembly intended to elect a new board of directors. The meeting was scheduled for 09:00, yet many members arrived an hour early to secure their seats, indicating strong engagement from the club's supporters. As the hour progressed, more members continued to arrive, showcasing their commitment to the future of the club.
Leading the sole list in this election process is former Sports Minister José David Jiménez, accompanied by former professional footballer Cristhian Noboa. Upon their arrival around 09:00, neither of the candidates made substantial comments to the journalists present, preferring to go directly into the stadium. Their engagement highlights the determination of these figures to lead the club forward in a time of transition.
During the assembly, the present members showed support by applauding and singing popular songs associated with the club's fan culture, illustrating a strong sense of camaraderie among Emelec supporters. This election, set against the backdrop of both weather challenges and enthusiastic participation, is crucial as the club seeks to navigate its future with new leadership.
