That depends on how you look at it I suppose. I would hope that the IJMC would poll all the countries reps for a vote before handing it over to someone, knowing especially how a large majority of them feel about the issue. I do know that Dubai had wanted to make a bid as well but was nixed by some, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
Right now it looks like the location is up in the air for a few more months.
