Garamendi no tendrá rival en las elecciones de CEOE y será proclamado presidente por tercera vez
El plazo para presentar candidaturas para las elecciones del 1 de octubre terminó la pasada media noche y solo el actual presidente optará a la reelección
On Monday, the deadline for submitting candidacies for the CEOE presidency closed, leaving no room for alternative candidates. As the current leader of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendi will be the sole contender for the position of president at the upcoming elections on October 1st. According to CEOE sources, this deadline concluded last night, paving the way for Garamendi to begin his third term as the head of the organization, which he has led since 2018.
Garamendi (Getxo, 1958) announced his intention to continue as CEOE president at the end of June, following his victory in the 2018 election without any opposition, after losing four previous elections to Juan Rosell. He successfully defended his position again in 2022, securing 534 votes, representing 83% of the total, in an election that also included Virginia Guinda, the Vice-President of Labour Promotion.
The CEOE's executive committee approved in 2023 the abolition of the restriction on two consecutive four-year terms for the president of the patronal organization, a rule implemented by its predecessor, Rosell.
