Amritsar November 16:

A meeting of the members of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) authorised Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal to nominate its new chief, a day ahead of the election for the SGPC president.

Mr Badal would, however, announce his nominee for the top post of SGPC tomorrow, just before the election of the new president and executive of the SGPC. Meanwhile, the rival faction of the SGPC announced that they would field Mr Ajit Singh of Ropar for the post of the SGPC president.

SGPC sources here said that Mr Badal was likely to choose incumbent SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar once again and he was likely to be elected as the SGPC chief for a sixth consecutive term. The SGPC would tomorrow elect its new president, senior vice president, vice president and an 11-member executive.
