KUCHING: There will be no contest for the vacant president's position in Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) following Tan Sri James Masing's death last year, after party leaders agreed on a consensus line-up to avert a potential leadership tussle.

PRS secretary-general Datuk Janang Bungsu said the consensus was reached "after a great deal of personal sacrifice" by acting president Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum and his potential challenger Datuk John Sikie Tayai.
