Laporta favourite for fans in Barcelona presidency battle

Joan Laporta is emerging as favourite for this summer's Barcelona election.

The former president is yet to declare he will run for a return to office.

A survey, carried out by the company TNS with over 800 members of the club at the Camp Nou, was conducted before the games against Málaga (21st February) and Rayo Vallecano (8th March).

The outcome indicates that former president Joan Laporta, who has yet to announce his intention to run in the elections to be held in the summer, would be the frontrunner with 34.6% of the votes.

Behind Laporta, the second favourite would be former coach and player Pep Guardiola, who currently manages Bayern Munich, with 19.3% of the votes. The incumbent, Josep Maria Bartomeu, garnered 15.3% and Agustí Benedito 5.8%.
