Teo Potential Candidates From Dap Women Named For Kkb By Election

---

Several DAP women’s wing members have been named as potential candidates to represent Pakatan Harapan in the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election on May 11.
DAP Women chief Teo Nie Ching said the final decision on the candidate will be determined by the party's top leadership following discussions with Selangor DAP.
“This discussion will involve the secretary-general (Anthony Loke), chairperson (Lim Guan Eng), deputy chairperson (Gobind Singh Deo), as well as vice-chairpersons, M Kulasegaran and Nga Kor Ming, along with representatives from Selangor DAP.”
The DAP national publicity secretary said this after presenting iftar food packs to Bernama staff today.
Teo, who is also deputy communications minister, called for the by-election campaign to be conducted with caution, advising against the discussion of sensitive topics related to race, religion, and royalty (3Rs).
“Despite our differences, let’s engage in a rational and constructive discourse.
“Let’s refrain from discussing sensitive issues related to 3R to avoid escalating tensions, as ultimately, we should remember that our primary identity is as Malaysians,” she said.
The Election Commission (EC) yesterday set the polling day for the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election on May 11, while nomination and early voting day will be on  April 27 and  May 7 respectively.
The Kuala Kubu Baharu seat became vacant following the demise of its incumbent, DAP’s Lee Kee Hiong, on March 21.
Lee, 58, who had been the Kuala Kubu Baharu assemblyperson under the Hulu Selangor parliamentary constituency since 2013, passed away after battling cancer for several years.
The Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election is the seventh by-election to be held after the 15th general election (GE15) in 2022.
The electoral roll for the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election comprises a total of 40,226 registered voters consisting of 39,362 regular voters, 625 police personnel, 238 military personnel and spouses, and one absentee voter residing abroad.
