The result prevented a third consecutive term for Chapa 3 (UNI-FLA), led by the current vice-president, Rodrigo Dunshee, and supported by the current president Rodolfo Landim. It secured 1,166 votes. Chapa 2 (Mengão Maior), led by Maurício Gomes de Mattos, received only 363 votes.
“It’s a celebration of Flamengo’s democratic process. I’m sure we will take Flamengo to a new level,” Bap said in his first statement as president.
Bap’s slate will have the right to appoint 80 members to the Deliberative Council (60 full members and 20 alternates), as well as 72 members to the Board of Directors (48 full members and 24 alternates). Dunshee’s slate, which came in second, will have 20 seats in the Deliberative Council (15 full members and five alternates) and 18 seats on the Board of Directors (12 full members and six alternates).
With the support of Flamengo idols such as Zico, Evaristo de Macedo, and Raul Plassmann, Bap’s slate won decisively in what was the largest election in the club’s history in the 21st century. A total of 3,272 members voted in the election, surpassing the 3,039 votes in 2018. Stay on top of the game with BBscore football.
