Bersih chairman resigns after his team loses badly in steering committee poll

ACTIVIST Thomas Fann has attributed his resignation as chairman of Bersih to what he perceives as a vote of no-confidence by the reform group’s endorsing NGOs to his aspiration to elevate Bersih from a people's movement to a “people’s institution”.

Fann had won the seat uncontested for another term in the steering committee polls just ten days ago.

He said he has had time to reflect, and it is clear to him that his leadership and efforts to evolve Bersih into a “people’s institution” were rejected by the majority of the endorsing NGOs of Bersih.

In a letter to the steering committee and endorsing NGOs today, he noted that the five contested positions of deputy chair, treasurer and three committee member posts were won by all four candidates led by Wong Yan Ke, who stood against the team that Fann had put forward.
