KLUANG: The Sarawak DAP chapter has been given full autonomy to decide on candidates for the state election.
Party secretary-general Anthony Loke said the party’s central leadership had left the decisions to the state chapter, including its election strategy and direction.
“All decisions on the number of seats to contest and the candidates will be left to DAP Sarawak,” he told reporters after opening the DAP Johor annual convention.
The 13th Sarawak state election will be held on Dec 12, with nomination day set for Nov 28 and early voting scheduled for Dec 8.
DAP won only two seats, Pending and Padungan, in the previous Sarawak state election.
