GEORGE TOWN: Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon announced last night that he would only hold on to the party president's post for two terms if elected.

He said this was to give young Gerakan leaders the opportunity to helm the party.

"I will not be president for more than two terms. I don't intend to," he said when opening the Gerakan Jelutong division's annual general meeting.

Koh was picked by his former boss, Tun Dr Lim Keng Yaik, to lead the party in April last year.

Party insiders believe there will not be any contest for the party's top post.
Senior posts in the party will be contested at Gerakan's biennial national delegates conference from Oct 11-12. The Wanita and Youth elections will be held on Oct 10.

Candidates contesting for the posts of president, deputy president, vice-president (3) and committee member (18) need two nominations each.
