Outgoing Sarawak National Party (SNAP) secretary-general Stanley Jugol is set to be the next party’s president as his name was the only one received to contest for the post at the triennial delegates conference this Sunday.
Nominations for all the contested posts closed last Friday.
The party’s credentials committee chairman Frankie Jurem said in the absence of any other candidate for the post, Jugol would automatically be the next party’s president, taking over from Edwin Dundang who declined to seek re-election.
The TDC, originally scheduled to be held on Sept 25 last year, was postponed to Jan 15, 2012 after it was discovered that one of the presidential candidates, Michael Lias, was found to be not a member of the party.
It was revealed that he was a member of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).
Lias was also a proposer of three other candidates.
Lias has since been sacked from SNAP for dual membership.
Meanwhile, the rest of the elected posts in the party would also be won unopposed.
Former Telang Usan state assemblyman Kebing Wan is be confirmed as deputy president.
He has been the acting deputy president after the sacking of Ting Ling Kiew in 2010 for campaigning for the Barisan Nasional in the Batang Ai by-election in 2009.
Kebing’s name was the only received by the credentials committee to contest for the post.
Hotelier Jimmy Wong would also be returned unopposed as senior vice president, taking over from Kebing.
Jurem said he and four other candidates would be returned unopposed as vice presidents of the party.
Apart from Jurem, the others are oil palm plantation manager Dan Giang, businessman Walter Dayrell Entrie, lawyer Anthony Liman Sujang and businessman Roland Teo.
The TDC will endorse the eligibility of the candidates.
Jurem said the TDC would also be discussing plans and strategies for the coming general election anticipated to be called this year. by Sematong Express
