Recall that the election into the board has generated some hues since expiration of the tenure of the last board members as individual candidacy was opposed in some quarters by leaders of associations.

Meanwhile, some people who are no longer members of associations believe they have the right to contest the position owing to provisions of the Act establishing the Council.
