A total of 13 GNP members have joined the race. The national convention to choose the five new members of the top decision-making Supreme Council for a two-year term will be held on Wednesday next week.
The competition is expected to be fiercer than ever as the new leaders would play a crucial role in nominating party members for the 2012 parliamentary elections and managing the party primary for the 2012 presidential vote.
The members will be chosen in a vote by some 9,060 local delegates, paired with the result of public opinion polls. The delegates’ votes account for 70 percent of the final decision while polls make up the rest. Of the five candidates who make it onto the Supreme Council, the one who garners the highest number of votes will become the new leader.
Before the convention takes place, a series of forums, in which candidates will present their respective visions of the party, will be held in major cities nationwide. Three televised debates are also scheduled.
