GE14 | DAP has announced law professor Abdul Aziz Bari as its candidate for the Perak state seat of Tebing Tinggi in the 14th general election.

According to Sinar Harian today, he urged voters not just to vote him in, but Pakatan Harapan as the new government.

“God willing, if I win, there is a lot that we can do to help. But let us win as a government, not as an opposition,” he was reported as saying at a ceramah.

He said he had met with many locals to hear out their problems, and outlined the benefits of Harapan's manifesto that could be implemented if they were in government.

Present at the announcement were Perak DAP secretary general Wong Kah Woh state DAP Youth chief Howard Lee and Perak Amanah deputy chief and former Perak menteri besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.

Abdul Aziz first contested in the 13th general election as a PKR member, and joined DAP in 2015.
