BC, Riga, 21.01.2020.Print version

The Latvian Basketball Association (LBS) will vote in its new president today during a meeting of LBS members, informed LETA/BNS. 


Meanwhile, one of the candidates Kaspars Cipruss, a former national team player, has recalled his candidacy.


This means that two candidates remain for the post of LBS president - former Latvian President Raimonds Vejonis, and former Latvian women's national team captain Anete Jekabsone-Zogota.


When announcing he is recalling his candidacy today, Cipruss urged his supporters to support Vejonis for LBS president.


At the annual LBS meeting on November 14, the organization's head Valdis Voins said that the next meeting should be held in January 2020, and the president and council should be elected for a period of four years. Voins has been the organization's president for two terms and said he will not run for another term.
