MIC deputy president Datuk Sri M Saravanan has announced that he will not challenge current president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran for the party leadership position. Malaysian South report.
Saravanan confirmed this at a press conference announcing the dates for candidate nominations and party elections scheduled for March 27 and April 12.
Vigneswaran’s term as president ends on May 25, but he has served in the position since July 2018.
Saravanan said MIC’s asset holdings had increased the most during Vigneswaran’s tenure as president since the late Tun S. Sami Velu. His presidency has the full support of the entire party and party leaders have collectively decided not to run for the post, he added.
