KLUANG, Nov 15: The Democratic Action Party (DAP) has given full autonomy to the Sarawak DAP leadership to decide how many seats to contest, who to field, and its strategy for the upcoming Sarawak election, party secretary-general Anthony Loke said.

He said that after the Melaka state election on Saturday (Nov 14), the party’s focus has shifted to preparing for the polls in the Land of the Hornbills.

“All decisions concerning the Sarawak election will be made by Sarawak DAP. The party has indeed granted Sarawak DAP autonomy to make decisions on the number of seats, candidates, and strategies,” he told a press conference at the 2026 Johor DAP Convention here today.

He said the central leadership would continue to provide strong support to ensure the smooth running of the party’s machinery in Sarawak.
