DAP wants to meet with RoS

KUALA LUMPUR: DAP wishes to meet the Registrar of Societies (RoS) soon to discuss the party's stand on the RoS directive to hold re-elections for party posts.
Its secretary-general, Lim Guan Eng, said attempts have been made to do so since Monday.
"We wish to reiterate that the DAP is not afraid of holding party elections. The term of the CEC (central executive committee) elected in 2013 is expiring, and we are in the process of organising the congress to elect a new CEC.
"There are currently several options available to the DAP, including holding the re-election under protest, as well as mounting a legal challenge against the decision of the RoS," he said in a news conference held at its headquarters here today.
DAP received an official letter from the RoS seeking the party to hold fresh elections for its central executive committee (CEC).
The RoS had, on July 7 ruled that DAP's CEC re-election in 2013 was not held in accordance with its requirements and found the appointment of the CEC and the main office-bearers to be invalid.
