"Joan Laporta has formally resigned as president of FC Barcelona, not because of any crisis, but because the club's statutes leave him no other option if he wants another term. With that step, the vote scheduled for March 15th is officially under way. The move follows Article 42.f of the Barça statutes, which requires any sitting president to vacate the post before standing again."
"Rafa Yuste now takes over as interim president until the end of the mandate on June 30th. Until now, Yuste had been first vice-president and in charge of the sports department. Reports from inside the club say he is widely regarded as Laporta's most trusted lieutenant. Yuste will be flanked by a reduced board, with Josep Cubells acting as vice-president and secretary, Alfons Castro as treasurer, and directors Josep Ignasi Macià, Àngel Riudalbas, Joan Solé i Sust, and Sisco Pujol."
Joan Laporta resigned as president of FC Barcelona because club statutes require any sitting president to vacate the post before standing again under Article 42.f. The resignation was ratified at a board meeting at the Spotify Camp Nou and set the March 15 election in motion, allowing Laporta to campaign. Rafa Yuste becomes interim president until the mandate ends on June 30; he had been first vice-president and head of the sports department and is regarded as Laporta's most trusted lieutenant. A reduced board will manage until June 30. Several board members also stepped down to participate in the electoral process. Candidates must gather 2,337 valid signatures, with home matchdays on February 22 and February 28 highlighted for signature collection.
