DAP today announced that it will use the Pakatan Harapan (PH) logo on the peninsula for the 15th general election (GE15).

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said it would only be for Peninsular Malaysia, while Sabah and Sarawak DAP would decide for themselves, as they had autonomy.

“We have started in the Malacca elections, so we will use it throughout Peninsular Malaysia for the general election, except for Sabah and Sarawak,” he said when opening the Selangor DAP 2021 ordinary state convention in Shah Alam today.

Meanwhile, Selangor DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo said it had applied to the state PH for three additional seats, including one parliamentary seat, for GE15.

“Discussions are being held with Selangor PH whereby so far we have asked for three additional seats.

“To date, we have stated our readiness to contest two additional state seats and one additional parliamentary seat. With this, we (will) increase the number of our state seats from 16 to 18 in the next election,” he said in his welcoming speech.

The convention, which was conducted in strict compliance to Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP), was attended by 1,116 delegates from 218 branches throughout the state to elect 15 new office bearers for the next three years. – Bernama, November 14, 2021.
