Benedick set to battle Madius for Upko top post despite motion to halt leadership fight


KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Ewon Benedick is going ahead with his plan to take on Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau for the Upko president's post despite attempts to push for a leadership transition only after the 15th General Election (GE15).

This comes after delegates of the Tuaran Upko division led by incumbent president Madius endorsed a motion for the party to back a leadership transition, especially for the presidency in Upko to be done only after the GE15.
