KUALA LUMPUR: DAP’s 2026 national conference, originally scheduled for July 12, has been postponed to Aug 16, party secretary-general Loke Siew Fook says.
He said the decision was made by the party’s central executive committee at a meeting last night after taking into account the dissolution of the Johor and Negeri Sembilan legislative assemblies, paving the way for elections in both states.
“DAP will defend all its incumbent seats in Johor and Negeri Sembilan and contest several additional seats in Johor, subject to the final outcome of negotiations with our Pakatan Harapan (PH) component parties by the end of this week,” he said in a statement today.
Loke said the selection of candidates to represent DAP in the two state elections would be determined by the party’s candidate selection committee.
The committee comprises Loke, DAP national chairman Gobind Singh Deo, deputy national chairman Nga Kor Ming, wanita chief Teo Nie Ching, and DAP parliamentary leader Chong Chieng Jen.
Loke, the Seremban MP and former Chennah assemblyman, said DAP would campaign vigorously in the elections to help secure PH victories in both states.
On Monday, Johor menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the 56-seat Johor assembly had been dissolved with effect from June 1 after receiving the consent of the Regent of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail.
Yesterday, Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Aminuddin Harun announced that the 36-seat state assembly would be dissolved today after receiving the consent of the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
