Jules Sof
Jules George Sof (Paramaribo, 25 February 1914[1]) was, before Suriname became independent, a member of the Estates of Suriname for the NPS.
He was born as a son of Egbertus Charles Godfried Sof (*1863; shop assistant). In 1954 he joined the main board of the NPS of which he for some time also was the secretary. A few months later he was elected in the parliament at a by-election (caused by the death of NPS member of parliament F.J.A. Murray) in the Marowijne District.[2] At the 1955 Surinamese general election the NPS lost almost all the seats in parliament and also Sof was not reelected. He was civil servant in Moengo when he could return in 1958 to the Estates of Suriname. This time he would stay 11 years member of parliament and he was also the NPS-faction leader.[3] At the general election in 1969 and 1973 Sof was unsuccessfully the NPS candidate for the district Upper-Marowijne.
