The elections for the presidency of the DCL took place during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 16 January 2026. There was a single candidate for the position, Rosario de Caro (Italy). In accordance with the electoral regulations, the confirmation of a sole candidate requires the approval of at least half of the members plus one (8 votes).
