Sepp Blatter Wins Election to Remain as FIFA President for Fifth Term

The 79-year-old was returned to the presidency but he failed to secure election on the first ballot with Prince Ali withdrawing before a second ballot was undertaken.
Blatter polled 133 of the 209 votes in the first round, seven short of the two-thirds majority he needed, with his opponent securing 73 votes.
Prince Ali had asked delegates to "listen to your conscience" and warned the watching world would not accept another Blatter win on the back of a week of dawn raids, criminal investigations and staggering corruption allegations.
