Hello, I am on a board that recently had an election. The nominees were accepted, the board voted and by 2/3 vote a new president was elected 22 votes (14/8). The results were clearly not what some in previous power was expecting. A blindside you might say. The next day one of the board members "challenged" the qualifications of the newly elected president. This was not welcomed by the governing board that voted this person in as there was not a challenge before or during the election. And mind you the person challenging was the person that wrote, proposed the eligibility bylaw. also now the past president who ran against this person wants a re vote. He also was at this election and never brought up or challenged his qualifications and he sent out the qualification and eligibility requirements prior to the election, however everyone including these folks accepted the nominees and voted and did a thank you speech after. The board that voted was asked if they re-voted would they change their vote and the answer no and that they wanted to election to hold. The person that was just voted in was previously on the board as well. I will tell you if it were any other person who had the same qualifications as the new president there would not have been a challenge.
