KULAI – DAP is now in the final stage of naming its remaining candidates for the Johor election, said state DAP deputy chairman Teo Nie Ching.

Teo, who is also Johor DAP Election Preparations Committee chairman, said the names of the candidates were expected to be announced next week.

Meanwhile, when asked about her nomination as a candidate in the election, she said that she was ready to become a DAP candidate to contest under the Pakatan Harapan ticket, but left it to the top party leadership to decide.

“The DAP leadership is of the view that MPs can be nominated as candidates for the Johor polls.

“But to date, there has been no final decision for me to become a candidate, and I will accede to the party directive on the matter, “ the Kulai MP said when met after checking on a project to repair public facilities at Eco Forest Park, Gunung Pulai here, today.

To date, DAP has announced four candidates, namely for the Tangkak, Paloh, Mengkibol and Penggaram constituencies.
