As long as Africa and Asia are in his pocket. The only hope is that the last few days events will result in massive defections away from Sepp, but I just can't see it happening. He funnels too much money into their federations, or at least into the bank accounts of those who run their federations.

But only a majority is needed in the second round and there are only two candidates. This is a done deal. Sad
