DAP: We’re with you, PKR

KUALA LUMPUR: In a great show of solidarity, DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng said his party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) agreed to accept the decision of PKR’s President Wan Azizah to withdraw her candidacy for the Selangor Menteri Besar’s (MB) post.

The CEC also directed its 15 state assemblypersons to pledge their support for the palace’s choice of PKR Deputy President Azmin Ali, who will be sworn in as Selangor’s new MB in an official ceremony at the Istana Alam Shah in Klang today.

In the party’s official statement, Lim also conveyed the CEC’s deep regret at the four PAS Selangor Exco members who chose to remain as part of former MB Khalid Ibrahim’s team, even after he unceremoniously sacked six PKR and DAP Exco members.

Despite past transgressions, Lim stated the CEC’s firm hope that the resolution of the prolonged political crisis in Selangor, will make way for a more just, free and prosperous state with the appointment of Azmin as its new MB.
