Even as efforts were on to stall the process further, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) announced on Wednesday that its elections would be held on December 5.
The elections, originally scheduled to be held on November 25, were stalled when the appointed chairman of the Election Commission, S. Y. Quraishi, resigned halting the process of scrutiny.
Despite objections from the IOA Secretary-General, Randhir Singh, the Acting President, Vijay Kumar Malhotra, nominated a new chairman to take over from Quraishi.
