(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Bahrain-based Mahmood Zeyad was elected as the president of AIESEC Oman recently. He will succeed Fayas Fazil whose term ends in July.
The election took place on Friday at Omantel headquarters in the presence of members of the organisation.
Zeyad, who is the current president of a university chapter in AIESEC Bahrain won against Basma Abid, the current vice president of AIESEC Oman.
In a statement following the results, Zeyad said, ''I feel very excited, and I'm looking forward to showing the youth of Oman the different programmes we have, so that they can gain more.''
He also said he contested for AIESEC Oman because he felt at home in the country and was inspired by Omani youth.
Meanwhile, Fazil, the outgoing president of AIESEC Oman, said, ''I am positive that Zeyad will take AIESEC Oman to new heights, and I'm really excited to see him in action.''
Zeyad is expected to make a visit to Oman in March and will be in the country for a month of transition before his term begins in July.
AIESEC is the world's largest youth organisation, and is currently present in over 120 countries and territories. AIESEC started in Oman in 2008, and has currently over 100 student members from 13 colleges and university campuses.
