MELAKA - State DAP vice-chairman Khoo Poay Tiong will defend the Kota Melaka parliamentary seat in the 15th general election (GE15), party secretary-general Anthony Loke said.
He said Khoo was nominated for his excellent service in the constituency besides also having good attendance and participation record in Parliament.
"He is very careful and transparent in managing constituency allocations and never discriminates when serving his constituents,” he told reporters after launching Pakatan Harapan’s Kota Melaka machinery here today.
In GE14, Khoo won Kota Melaka with a 49,174 vote-majority against Eric Choo Wei Sern (Barisan Nasional) and Goh Leong San (Independent).
On Bentong incumbent MP Wong Tack’s intention to defend the seat as an Independent candidate, Loke said should that happen, Wong’s party membership will be automatically revoked.
Yesterday, DAP announced that Ketari assemblyman Young Syefura Othman will replace Wong as the PH candidate in Bentong. - BERNAMA
