GEORGE TOWN, July 28 — Penang DAP chairman Chow Kon Yeow revealed today that some of the names in the state’s list of candidates that was announced were not in the original list submitted by the state committee.
“The state committee has its own candidate selection committee where we conduct interviews of candidates proposed by the branches,” he said. He said the national selection committee considered the list and made the final decision on which candidates to be fielded, which was the list announced by the party secretary-general Anthony Loke on Tuesday.
“There are no issues with me. There are even those who are contesting as Independent candidates in support of me,” he added. In the recent announcement of candidates by DAP, five former state excos were dropped from the list while seven new candidates were fielded.
