Kulasegaran, Thomas Su to run in upcoming Perak DAP polls in bid to grab a bigger slice of political pie for party in GE15
IPOH, March 5 — After a 10-year hiatus, parliamentarians M. Kulasegaran and Thomas Su are back in the running for DAP’s triennual party election that will take place next week.
The duo announced their intention to run for the Perak DAP election on March 14, which also coincides with the state convention to be held at the Ipoh Convention Centre.
“We will put up a total of 15 candidates,” Su, who is Kampar MP, told reporters here today.
He said he will be joined by Leow Thye Yih and Terence Naidu, who are Pokok Assam and Pasir Berdamar assemblymen respectively with Cheong Chee Khing and Keong Meng Sing, who are the former Bercham and Menglembu assemblymen.
He said he and Kulasegaran had visited DAP branches in the state and had been persuaded to run as office-bearers by their grassroots members after the last state party election in 2018.
“The feedback we got was they want changes to the leadership to further strengthen the party,” he added.
