The race to win a berth in the MIC elections has entered the final lap and the outcome is in the hands of the 1,441 voters who will decide on Saturday.

How they decide will make or break many a political career.

Top most on the minds of the party rank and file is whether challenger and incumbent vice-president since 1994, G Palanivel can unseat veteran S Subramaniam, the incumbent deputy president since 1981.

All attention is on them and the many twists and turns of their tussles.
