Latvian Paralympic Committee refuses to attend LOK working meeting
Ahead of Sunday's General Assembly of the Latvian Paralympic Committee, where a new president and board will be elected, the committee has declined to attend a working meeting organized by the Latvian Olympic Committee. The dispute follows accusations last week that the Olympic Committee was trying to influence the election process, which it firmly denies.
The Latvian Paralympic Committee (LPK) will hold its General Assembly on Sunday, during which a new president and board will be elected. Ahead of the event, tensions have escalated between the LPK and the Latvian Olympic Committee (LOK), as the Paralympic Committee announced it will not attend a working meeting organized by LOK.
Origins of the dispute
Last week, the LPK publicly accused LOK of attempting to influence the upcoming election process. LOK rejected these claims, categorically denying any interference in the Paralympic Committee's internal affairs or its election proceedings.
What happens next
Despite the friction between the two organizations, the LPK's General Assembly is set to proceed as planned on Sunday. Members will elect a new president and board, who will lead Latvia's Paralympic sports work going forward.
