Went ahead or go ahead

"The events of the last two days, in particular, have made any election unworkable," added its statement. "The integrity and reputation of the game across the world is paramount and the Scottish FA urges Fifa to reconsider its intentions, and calls on other member associations to consider the long-term implications for the game's image.

"We also propose the following actions: Fifa should appoint a wholly independent ethics committee; a significant comprehensive plan should be formulated and presented by Fifa to its members regarding essential changes to its governance, decision-making processes and transparency; a new date is set for the presidential election, giving suitable candidates time to prepare and present their plans for a more transparent and accountable Fifa."

Whether the two FAs will receive the support of their counterparts remains to be seen but Blatter, speaking defiantly at a news conference on Monday, seemed set on making sure the presidential election went ahead unless three quarters of Fifa's congress of 208 voted otherwise.

Blatter, 75, is vying to be re-elected for a fourth term and, despite insisting Fifa was not in crisis, the FA's latest move comes amid world football's governing body being undermined by a series of corruption allegations

I think the following sentence of the above is flawed.

Whether the two FAs will receive the support of their counterparts remains to be seen but Blatter, , seemed set on making sure the presidential election went ahead unless three quarters of Fifa's congress of 208 voted otherwise.

The election will take place later on or rather in the future. So today you can't say 'seemed set on making sure the presidential election went ahead unless three quarters of Fifa's congress of 208 voted otherwise.'


The words 'went ahead' are incorrect. It should be 'go ahead'.
