Josep Maria Bartomeu has been re-elected as Barcelona president for a second term, beating former president Joan Laporta in Saturday’s election.
Barcelona said on their television channel that Bartomeu received 54.63% of the votes cast by club members.
The 52-year-old will now lead the club for the next six years.
Bartomeu endured a turbulent spell having taken over in January 2014 from Sandro Rosell, who stood down following the Neymar transfer scandal.
He was buoyed by Barcelona’s victory in the Champions League, along with triumphs in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, Bartomeu saw off the challenge from Laporta, president of the Catalan club from 2003 to 2010.
