Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB)’s supreme council has accepted a no-contest motion from all 82 of its branches in Sarawak for the party’s top five positions in their upcoming general assembly, scheduled from Feb 14-16.
Speaking at a press conference after the council’s meeting last night, PBB secretary-general Alexander Nanta Linggi said the uncontested positions cover the party president, deputy presidents, and two senior vice presidents.
He said the nomination forms for seven vice presidents and 30 elected members of the supreme council will be distributed in the coming days.
“The meeting has decided that the secretariat will issue the nomination letters, and nominations will close one week before the party’s general assembly,” Alexander (above) said.
The current PBB president is Abang Johari Openg, who is also the premier of Sarawak. The deputy presidents are Douglas Embas and Awang Tengah Ali Hasan, who are also deputy premiers.
The two senior vice presidents are Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof and Stephen Rundi, Sarawak’s food industry, commodities, and rural development minister.
Nanta, who is also the Works Minister, said the meeting, chaired by Abang Johari, announced that 3,213 delegates and observers are expected to attend the upcoming general assembly.
“For the first time, the general assembly, which will be officiated by Abang Johari, will also be attended by the party’s Youth wing with members aged between 18 and 28,” he said.
