Additionally, candidates must not be related to any of the other candidates running for the board, to ensure fairness and impartiality in the election process. Once the Election Supervisory Committee has completed their review, the final list of candidates will be announced within the coming days, followed by the announcement of the election date.
This marks an important moment for the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce as it looks to diversify its leadership and continue to support and promote business development in the region. With a diverse range of candidates, including a significant number of women, the upcoming elections are sure to bring about a new era of leadership for the Chamber.
