GEORGE TOWN – DAP will announce its list of candidates for the 15th general election (GE15) for Perlis, Kedah, and Penang this weekend, its national vice-chairman Chow Kon Yeow said.

Chow, who is also Penang DAP chairman, said party secretary-general Anthony Loke will be in the northern states this weekend to announce the list of candidates.

When asked which constituency he will contest in GE15, the Penang chief minister, incumbent Tanjong MP, and Padang Kota assemblyman said he had conveyed his intentions to the party leadership.

“Don’t ask questions I can’t answer,” he said in response to Chinese newspaper reports that he may not contest a parliamentary seat in GE15 to focus on the state seat.

In GE14, DAP contested seven parliamentary seats in Penang, namely Tanjong, Bagan (Lim Guan Eng), Bukit Mertajam (Steven Sim). Batu Kawan (Kasthuri Patto), Bukit Bendera (Wong Hon Wai), Jelutong (R.S.N. Rayer), and Bukit Gelugor (Ramkarpal Singh). – Bernama, October 25, 2022
