DAP to drop Charles Santiago?

PETALING JAYA: DAP may drop three-term Klang MP Charles Santiago from its lineup for the 15th general election (GE15), says a party source.

“Santiago will not be contesting any seats for DAP,” said the source who declined to be named.

The source also said V Ganabatirau, the Selangor exco for social welfare and employee empowerment, is likely to replace Santiago.

“Initially it was supposed to be Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah but the response from the public was not good so there has been a change,” the source told FMT.

In the 2018 general election, Santiago retained the Klang seat with a 78,773-vote majority against Barisan Nasional and PAS candidates.

When contacted, Ganabatirau said he had heard that he would be asked to contest a parliamentary seat but he did not know where he would be asked to stand.

“I am not sure whether it will be Klang or some other seat in Selangor but if it is Klang, I will contest,” he said.
