    This is getting more complicated than it needs to. If he has support from other owners, then you should get one of them to nominate him for election to the committee.  There is no need for him to be there as your proxy. Candidacy for the committee is another matter entirely.

    However, people can’t be nominated for election to the committee by someone who is standing for election themselves. Assuming you are standing for election again, get someone who isn’t standing for election to nominate him.  That would be better as it would show that his candidacy has broader support and isn’t a power-grab by related individuals.

    Once you are both elected to the committee you can nominate him for election as an office-bearer.
