The Aspirants are Rt. Hon. George Daika, Rt. Hon. Michael Dapialong, Barr. Philip Peter Nyitni, and Mr. Chrysantus Dawam.

Viewpoint gathered from one of the candidates Mr. Chrysantus Dawam, rising from a gentleman arrangement meeting that Ja’afaru Damulak has stepped down for him; this accounts for the drop in the number of candidates from the original five to four.
