GE14 | PKR's Gan Pei Nei, who has not been nominated to defend her Rawang state seat, has pledged to campaign against BN in the coming general election.

In a statement read by her aide in Rawang today, Gan thanked her supporters and promised to be part of Pakatan Harapan's campaign, regardless of not being picked as a candidate.

"I urge (Rawang) voters to vote on May 9. I will not stand as an independent candidate. I thank everyone for their concern," she said.

Gan called for a press conference today, but did not personally show up for it.

Two days ago, Gan claimed that she had been dropped as PKR's Rawang candidate because of a poison pen letter that alleged that she had misused public funds.

She claimed that she was a victim of a plot by those who were eyeing her seat, and that she was never given a chance to defend herself with the party leaders.

Her replacement, Chua Wei Keat, denied that he was part of the so-called plot, stressing that his role in the affair was merely to forward a complaint about Gan on to his boss and Selayang MP William Leong.

PKR leaders have yet to address the allegations made by Gan.

Leong, when approached yesterday, refused to comment on the matter.

In a related development, caretaker Selangor exco member Teng Chang Khim described Gan as one of the "most outstanding" colleagues in his career as a state lawmaker.
