The entire election process went off without a hitch, with all the office-bearers being elected unopposed. All due election norms were firmly in place, with Mr Bhagwatrao Gaikwad (Retired judge) functioning as the Returning Officer in tandem with Mr Sharad D Madakre (Retired Deputy Charity Commissioner).

Namdev Shirgaonkar, President, India Taekwondo, who holds a Black Belt in Taekwondo, voiced his approval of being elected unopposed as chief of India Taekwondo. He affirmed, “It is a matter of immense pride that the entire election process proceeded smoothly. I will ensure that the discipline of taekwondo will gain immense popularity and will reach the masses in our great country. Presently not many may know of taekwondo, but this will not be the case in the future.”

Mr KiarashBahri (Coordinator – World Taekwondo – WT) as well as (Observer – Asian Taekwondo Union – ATU) and Mr Wanyong LEE (2nd Observer – Asian Taekwondo Union – ATU) and Mr Prashant Desai (Observer – Paralympic Committee of India – PCI) were the individuals who conducted the Election process.

Wanyong LEE, Asian Taekwondo Union – ATU, said, “I am very impressed with the quality and commitment of India Taekwondo to popularise the sport and have taken initiatives to make it accessible to several athletes. I believe Taekwondo is a way of life and should be extended to schools and colleges across India. Under Namdev Shirgaonkar’s leadership, we expect to see the rise of this sport and expect India to be a powerhouse over the next few years.”
