The "winner" DEFINITELY wanted the office and openly campaigned for it! Which has never happened in the last 40+ years in the WD - due to the fact that when Bro. Price resigned at District Conference, it was a total surprise and there was no time to "campaign". This time the DS resigned ahead of time - which allowed for promises to be made if certain people were voted in. The splitting of the District was one such promise.

The Southern California guys were not going to vote for Wilson. Abbey said he would support the formation and not stand in their way. HOWEVER, Mullings and Haney already gave their blessing to the formation which made everything happen in the first place. It was a meeting a few months later where Mullings resigned. The stamp of approval, from the Western District DS was already there. Abbey just said he would not do anything to change it. I can't say the same for the other.
