ELECTION 2023: Special Council Member Yet Siu Told The Gazette that He Will Not Run For A 2nd Term

As the ApeCoin DAO’s second Special Council election season kicked off this morning, current ApeCoin DAO Special Council Member Yat Siu told the Bored Ape Gazette that he will not be running for a second term.

“I am vacating the spot for others which I think is appropriate,” Siu told the Gazette this afternoon. “My role was to assist in onboarding the new SC members to transition in some new blood but will always be there to serve in other ways!”

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, Siu was one of the five original Special Council members who were appointed to the ApeCoin DAO's first Special Council in March 2022.

While Siu may not be running for re-election, he and his company, Animoca Brands, will continue to play a big role in the Yugaverse.

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, Animoca Brands is working with Yuga Labs on The Legends of The Mara game and Siu told the Gazette in April that Animoca Brands has plans to release more Bored Ape themed games going forward.

“We are excited about our partnership with Yuga and are committed on continuing to contribute to the Ape ecosystem as a whole including more content and games,” Siu said.

The Bored Ape Gazette is working to bring you continued coverage of this year’s ApeCoin DAO Special Council election season. Stay tuned for updates!
