To be elected, under Article 29 of the Articles of Agreement of the AIIB and the AIIB Rules for the Election of the President, a presidential candidate must receive an affirmative vote from two-thirds of the total number of Governors, representing no less than three-fourths of the total voting power of AIIB members.
