Manalapan will have no municipal election in March because the candidates for the open seats qualified without opposition.
The town has confirmed that the following individuals qualified for office in November as required, and that no one else filed in any of their respective races:
Commissioner Orla Imbesi (Seat 2)
Commissioner Dwight Kulwin (Seat 4)
Mayor Pro Tem Elliot Bonner (Seat 6)
All three were appointed to the commission when others resigned in 2023 because of Form 6, which required new state financial disclosures of elected municipal officials — requirements that were ultimately placed on hold due to a court challenge.
Their new terms, which start in March, expire in March 2028.
Imbesi works for several family businesses, Bonner is a Florida Power & Light executive, and Kulwin is a retired ophthalmologist.
