Penang CM candidate yet to be decided - Loke
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said no decision has been made on its Penang chief minister candidate yet.
This comes after Gerakan told DAP to come clean on its candidate, citing a news report claiming that the party might nominate its national deputy chairperson Gobind Singh Deo for the post.
“No decision has been made right now. I just met Penang DAP chief Chow (Yon Keow). We have discussed various preparations and strategies to face the state elections.
“Further announcements will be made in the next one to two weeks.
“But of course, in every election, we employ different strategies to maximise our chances of winning and also to ensure a strong leadership especially in Penang because we are the state government and in the driver's seat,” he told reporters after the “Political Stability in Hung Parliament” forum in Sunway University today.
Loke added that the candidate list for Penang DAP has not been finalised yet.

Gobind is currently the MP for Damansara - if he is appointed CM Penang, he'll have to relinquish his federal seat which means DAP will have to brave-risk a by-election in the Damansara federal constituency.
