Melaka DAP may drop some incumbents in state polls

[superadmin]

MELAKA: Melaka DAP says some of its incumbents may be dropped from the upcoming state election.

However, its secretary Damien Yeo said the DAP central leadership will have the final say on the candidates who will be nominated by the party under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) banner.

“There is the possibility that some incumbents may be dropped or perhaps it is a case of them not wanting to contest their seat anymore. These are all possibilities. Whatever it is, we leave it to the party’s central leadership to make the final decision.

“And of course at this moment, the Pengkalan Batu seat is vacant. So, there is also the possibility of an incumbent from another seat moving to contest it,” he said at a media conference here, today.

Yeo, the incumbent for the state seat of Duyong, said DAP would be fielding more than five new faces in the Melaka state election.
