Josep Maria Bartomeu has been re-elected as Barcelona president for the next six years after claiming 54.63% of the vote in Saturday's election, with nearest challenger Joan Laporta getting 33.03%.
The 52-year-old, who took over in 2014 following Sandro Rosell's resignation, had placed a lot of importance on keeping the current sponsorship agreement with Qatar Airways in place, despite being seen as controversial by many.
However, it has been his closeness and working relationship with Luis Enrique that supposedly encouraged many fans to vote for Bartomeu, with the likes of Laporta reportedly looking to sign players that the coach may not have wanted in the first place.Barca confirmed that 47,270 votes were cast in total.
