Three MIC leaders have been nominated for senatorship to fill the party quota.
PETALING JAYA: MIC president G Palanivel has finally nominated three fresh faces to be made senators under the party quota, said a party source.
The party official said the three candidates are MIC vice-president S Sothinathan, party treasurer-general S Murugesan and former deputy Youth chief V Mugilan.
“However, there may be some last-minute changes on the third candidate, Mugilan,” said the source.
When contacted, MIC secretary-general A Prakash Rao said he was not privy to the matter.
“Yes, the appointment is going to take place soon but I’m not sure of the candidates,” he said.
MIC has a quota of six senators, three of which are now being held by central working committee members V Subramaniam, A Sivapakiam and former treasurer-general Jaspal Singh.
Another senatorship was added to the list in return for MIC giving up a state assembly seat in Perak to Umno, in the last general election.
