Mark Chan, a senior manager with GE Capital will contest the seat of Bennelong against three of his Liberal Party colleagues. Chan is a 25 year old Chinese Australian businessman and is the local party stalwart. His Chinese background will be beneficial as there are many Chinese in the area but his age will probably work against him. He will be viewed favourably as a future prospect.
The preselection will take place on December 16. Chan's main rival will be former tennis ace John Alexander.
Bennelong was lost to Labor in the last election, with then Prime Minister John Howard losing to Maxine McKew.
