Alor Setar, Dec 21 – Forty Kedah DAP party leaders and members held a peaceful demonstration here Friday urging for election of the new state DAP committee to be held soon and in a democratic manner.
Kedah DAP Treasurer Law Theng Hooi said the party needs to abide by the constitution which states that committee members are selected through democracy and not by appointment.
The Taman Kristal DAP branch chairman also said that so far only the Kedah DAP has yet to elect new leaders, while the final date for election will end by month-end.
“The Central Executive Committee (CEC), especially party secretary Lim Guan Eng, needs to hear the woes of members at the grassroots level who want the election to be done democratically.
“We don’t want the party’s democracy to be ruined and that it doesn’t follow the existing constitution,” he told reporters after the demonstration outside the new Kedah DAP office on Jalan Putra.
