However, the global body has not specified the voting procedure in case there are multiple candidates.<\/p>\n<p>If elections happen as per existing rules, a candidate would require two thirds of the 17 ICC Board member votes, which roughly comes to 11 or 12. However, there are a few member nations, who want a simple majority vote where nine would be enough to win an election.<\/p>\n<p>That is precisely the reason, ICC stated that the next chairman might assume office only from the month of December. \u2018The process, which is being overseen by the Independent Chairman of the ICC Audit Committee, has commenced and the first stage is for the nominations of potential candidates to be made by current Board Directors by 18 October 2020,\u2019 ICC stated in a release.<\/p>\n<p>Manohar\u2019s deputy Imran Khawaja is currently the acting chairman after the Indian stepped down in July. \u2018the process for the election of its next Chairperson is underway and is expected to be concluded by early December,\u2019 the ICC stated.<\/p>\n<p>The process of nomination, however, remains the same where a current Board of Director nominates a candidate, who needs to be seconded by another director. \u2018As outlined in the ICC Constitution, to be eligible, potential candidates must be either a current or former ICC Director,\u2019 the release concluded.<\/p>\n<p>A senior official privy to developments in the ICC Board room said that the month and half gap between nomination and election has been bought in order to work out a consensus if possible. \u2018You have to understand that the main reason for the delay is not being able to work out a consensus candidate. Otherwise, you won\u2019t take five months since Shashank stepped down on July 1 and the next chairman will effectively take charge in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018At least two powerful boards want simple majority while one board with a former ICC honcho is swimming in the opposite direction,\u2019 the senior official told PTI on conditions of anonymity. \u2018What you read in the ICC media release is the nomination process which has been the same for years now.\u2014Agencies<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"td-post-source-tags\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-post-sharing-bottom\">\n<div id=\"td_social_sharing_article_bottom\" class=\"td-post-sharing td-ps-bg td-ps-notext td-post-sharing-style1 \">\n<div class=\"td-post-sharing-visible\">\n<div class=\"td-social-sharing-button td-social-sharing-button-js td-social-handler td-social-share-text\">\n<div class=\"td-social-but-icon\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-social-but-text\">Share<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"td-social-but-icon\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-social-but-icon\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-social-but-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dubai The ICC on Monday set October 18 as the deadline for its Board of Directors to propose candidates for the chairman\u2019s post to succeed Shashank Manohar, ending a nearly three-month-long impasse on the nomination process.
