Spats with axed candidates can spoil DAP’s chances, say analysts

PETALING JAYA: The way two former MPs were dumped by the DAP could have a negative impact on the party’s showing in the general election, say analysts.

Azmil Tayeb of Universiti Sains Malaysia said the discord could hit DAP’s credibility while Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara says it would have an adverse impact on voters.

They were responding to reports that former Klang MP Charles Santiago and former Bentong MP Wong Tack have disputed the party leadership’s claims over how they were consulted about being dropped as candidates for the general election.
