KUCHING: Baleh assemblyman Nicholas Kudi Jantai has announced his withdrawal from contesting the Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) Youth Chief position at the party’s Triennial Delegates Conference (TDC) this October.
Instead, he will be offering himself as a candidate for the PRS Vice President post.
Nicholas said the decision was made after consultations with party members, grassroots leaders, and careful consideration of the party’s current needs.
“There is one vacant Vice President post, and I believe I can contribute more effectively at this level while also giving way to Murum assemblyman Kennedy Chukpai Ugon and Tamin assemblyman Christopher Gira Sambang to contest for the Youth Chief position,” said Kudi through a press statement today (Sep1).
He said the shift in candidacy is seen as a move to strengthen the party and ensure a more effective leadership structure moving forward, noting his commitment to unifying the party and advancing its progress in alignment with the aspirations of the people.
“I am focused on strengthening and revitalizing the party by fostering unity, consolidating the leadership team, and ensuring that PRS continues to move forward in line with the aspirations of the people.
“I also support efforts to provide greater opportunities for new leaders to play a more significant role in the party,” he added.
Kudi also called for party unity, urging all members to work together towards a stronger future for PRS.
“With the support of all members, I believe PRS can move forward with renewed strength and be well-prepared to face the political and developmental challenges ahead.
“I humbly seek the support of delegates at the upcoming TDC this October so that we can work together to strengthen PRS and move forward as one united team,” he said.
