GEORGE TOWN, Sept 20- Former national DAP vice-chairman Zulkifli Mohd Noor has announced he will be contesting in the re-election of the party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC), scheduled on Sept 29.

He said apart from wanting to see the transparency of delegates to reflect the party’s multi-racial outlook and its Malaysian Malaysia ideology in the election, he was also contesting for the continuity of the party’s policy.

He said as proof of his commitment to contest in the re-election, several series of campaigns would be held to meet party members and delegates throughout the country, beginning today, until Sept 27.

“In my 26 years in the party, I have never campaigned for any election…but this time, I will campaign to test the transparency of the party in its struggle for the ideology it has been claiming,” he said.

Apart from that, Zulkifli said from his meetings with members and delegates in Sungai Petani, Kedah, Taiping and Kuala Kangsar in Perak recently, many DAP members wanted party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng to relinquish his post and not to seek re-election.

“For them, Lim has failed to carry out his responsibilities in heading the election process in December last year, which led to the interference by ROS and as a result DAP was almost deregistered.

“I did not rule out the possibility that the incident was mainly due to Lim’s agenda in strengthening his own position and that of his father,” he said.

He also described the party’s leadership as only seeing the participation of Malays in the party as 50sen members which did not bring any benefit to the party.

He said his allegations were based on the party election held at the end of last year which clearly showed the position of Malays in DAP.
