The council is a crucial governance organ and the International Automobile Federation (FIA) President Jean Todt said Amina’s election was important for the FIA’s push for gender equality.  

“Amina Mohamed, Minister for Sports, Heritage and Culture of Kenya, elected as a new member of the World Motor Sport Council. A great asset for @FIA advancing gender equality and diversity,” tweeted Todt as he made the announcement.
