He is among five candidates approved as NBTC board members by Senate voting on Monday. The five obtained at least 124 votes, half of the total votes in the Upper House. Another two candidates failed to get enough votes.
Of the five, three have been working closely with the NBTC and another two have close ties to the government.
A source at the existing NBTC board who requested anonymity said Dr Sarana is most likely to be voted by the five to become the board chairman.
