"A decision can then be taken on who to support in the presidential election on 26 February 2016." [From the BBC Sport website.]
who to support is the object of the preposition on in the above sentence and my questions are: (i) is the "who to support" used in the pattern of, e.g., "a book to read", "a work to do", "they forced them to leave", etc., and (ii) why isn't the objective pronoun "whom" used in the prepositional phrase on who to support?
Thank you.
