Choosing the Business Leaders

The Omani business community is gearing up for a massive leadership shift. The Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) Elections Committee officially announced the final lists of candidates for the upcoming board of directors elections today. The highly anticipated electronic voting is scheduled for Monday, November 23. Eligible business owners will actively choose the economic representatives who will lead the Chamber through the crucial 2026-2030 electoral period.

Driving Economic Development

His Excellency Engineer Ghalib bin Saeed Al Maamari, Chairman of the Elections Committee, affirmed that these elections represent a vital milestone for the national economy. The private sector must participate aggressively in institutional development to raise the overall competitiveness of the Sultanate. The incoming 21-member board of directors—which includes representatives from the Muscat Stock Exchange and foreign investors—must possess the practical experience necessary to address the massive challenges facing local enterprises today.

Electronic Voting Procedures

The government is ensuring a totally transparent and highly accessible electoral process. The November 23 elections will be conducted entirely electronically via smartphone applications. This allows eligible voters to cast their ballots securely from anywhere within or outside the Sultanate. Business owners are heavily urged to review the published voter lists immediately to verify their institutional eligibility and ensure their voting rights are fully secured before election day.
