PH names Pang Sock Tao for KKB by-election

 

Pakatan Harapan (PH) will field DAP’s Pang Sock Tao for the Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election scheduled to take place on May 11.

KUALA KUBU BARU: Pakatan Harapan (PH) will field DAP's Pang Sock Tao for the Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election scheduled to take place on May 11.

DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook said the decision to field Pang, who is also the press secretary to Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, was finalised after considering all qualifications and experience possessed by Pang.

Earlier, a DAP source told the New Straits Times that Pang had been chosen as the candidate for the by-election triggered by the death of its incumbent Lee Kee Hiong on March 21.

   The Election Commission (EC) has fixed May 11 for the KKB by-election. Nomination is set for April 27, with early voting on May 7.

  In the Selangor state election last year, Lee helped DAP to retain Kuala Kubu Baharu after she polled a majority of 4,119 votes in a four-cornered fight at the state seat. - NST
