Warisan to contest all seats in Penang in GE15

[superadmin]

GEORGE TOWN: Warisan plans to contest all the state and parliamentary seats in Penang in the 15th general election.

The party’s state coordinator, Jeff Ooi, said more people from different political backgrounds were expected to cross over to the party.

He said he hoped to recruit 50% of its members from young professionals, including leaders from top corporations.

“We are not going to be trapped with sloganeering like our old party. We will not antagonise others. We are looking for like-minded partners and youths to join us,” the former two-term DAP Jelutong MP said at a press conference today.

“Not one seat should be forsaken. We will contest all.”

Ooi said he was aware that Penangites would be sceptical over Warisan but felt it could win them over given time.
