DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang has announced his retirement from politics, saying he will not contest for any party position in today's DAP congress or any parliamentary or state assembly seat in the future.
He announced this during the DAP congress held at the Ideal Convention Centre in Shah Alam today.
"I take this opportunity to announce my political retirement and I will not contest for any position, including the party central executive committee (CEC) today - you should delete No 39 from the CEC candidate list - or any parliamentary or state assembly seat," Lim said in his speech at the congress.
The Iskandar Puteri MP said he has been with the party for 56 years and has seen it develop from a small opposition party into a major political party in the Pakatan Harapan coalition which won the 14th general election.
