GERAKAN has finalised its list of candidates for the 14th general rlection (GE14).

President Mah Siew Keong said the party’s central working committee unanimously decided to make changes to the list of names after considering views, feedback and proposals from party members at all levels.

“We believe the slated changes are necessary to reflect the latest political developments, sentiments from the grassroots and evaluations.

“The changes will better position the party towards achieving our aim to improve the electoral results in GE14, and it will renew and strengthen unity and cooperation within and outside the party.

“Most importantly, the winnability and popularity of the coordinators were considered and changes were made to ensure our frontliners are supported by all party members, Barisan Nasional friends and above all, the local communities in the respective constituencies,” Mah said in a statement today. 

Mah said the finalised list would be submitted to Barisan Nasional chairman Najib Razak.

“The party remains optimistic and confident in the electoral preparations and we are on course to achieve a breakthrough in GE14.

“I call on all party members to support the party’s decision by sharing a sense of unity and mission to ensure the party achieves an improved electoral performance in GE14.” – Bernama, March 26, 2018.
