PETALING JAYA, May 10 — DAP will press ahead in the coming Sarawak state election, with the party’s central leadership handing full autonomy to its Sarawak chapter to decide candidate line up and campaign strategy.
According to Utusan Malaysia, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said the central leadership would not interfere in decisions made by the Sarawak chapter, including the number of candidates to be fielded.
“We will wait first for the state election to be called, as the Sarawak Premier has yet to announce the dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly.
“DAP Sarawak has full autonomy to make its own decisions on candidates and election strategy,” he told Utusan yesterday, adding that the Sarawak leadership has its own plans based on the state’s political situation.
