Arends-Reyes corrects candidate reports
An AVP ministerial candidate for the Infrastructure and Telecommunications portfolio has not been selected, parliamentarian Jennifer Arends-Reyes said in a statement reported by 24ora on November 11. She was responding to coverage naming Marlon Sneek as a candidate.
Interest discussed, no formal choice announced
Arends-Reyes said the parliamentary faction had discussed who might be interested in a ministerial role but had not made a decision about any person. She warned that publishing a name as a candidate could incorrectly suggest that an agreement or formal process was already in place.
She said a decision would be communicated clearly once one had been taken. The report establishes her clarification, not a nomination or appointment.
