>PHILIPSBURG:--- Leader of the National Alliance William Marlin clarified on Wednesday when he was asked if he will lead his party in another parliamentary election. Marlin said that during the National Alliance congress in 2014 he along with the members of the National Alliance agreed that he will pass on the leadership of the party to its deputy leader Silveria Jacobs who was duly elected deputy leader. Marlin said that right now he is in a transition period as one could see that all press releases and invites are coming from the deputy leader of the National Alliance. Marlin said that one should also realize that the decision was not based on the amount of votes he got during the last election but should understand that it was a decision taken by the party and that contributed on how the voters vote on August 29th 2014. Marlin said that he will contest the other elections and if elected he will continue to serve his country just like he did over the years.
When asked if she was ready to take on the leadership of the party any time soon should there be early elections. Jacobs said that she did not want the press conference they called on Wednesday to refocus on who would lead the party instead she would prefer if members of the media would focus on the issues they raised. She further stated that the current leader William Marlin is a great asset to the National Alliance and one must know that there is always need for "pitbulls" to bite into certain issues when they arise.
