Vitoria de Guimarães is at the center of an electoral controversy following the recent vote for the club's leadership. The candidacy led by Viriato Sampaio, member number 1,994, has submitted a request for an investigation into the regularity of the electoral act that took place last Saturday. List C, which received 2,026 votes, questions the legality of the process and awaits a pronouncement from the Jurisdiction Council and the Vitoriano Council. The current president of the general assembly, João Henrique Faria, stated that the electoral act was conducted excellently and sees no need for a recount of votes. However, Viriato Sampaio expressed concerns about the counting of mail-in votes, where only 33 of the 120 requests were counted. The final voting result involved 6,642 members, with Rui Rodrigues from List D being declared the winner with 2,028 votes. List C argues that if statutory violations are confirmed, repeating the electoral act will be the only viable solution. Vitoria de Guimarães, a club with a rich history in Portuguese football, continues to strive for transparency and legality in its internal processes.
