DAP wants to meet the Registrar of Societies (ROS) Datuk Abdul Rahman Othman to demand for two clarifications on the need to hold its Central Executive Committee (CEC) re-election.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the matter was unanimously decided at a Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting yesterday as a last ditch effort to seek the clarifications.

"Without these two clarifications, the DAP leadership cannot explain to its delegates at the party's congress on why the party leadership conceded so easily," he said in a statement, here, today.

In this regard, Lim reiterated the stand that the party's CEC election in December last year was carried out orderly and above board but the party was prepared to hold the election again if ROS could give reasonable explanations in accordance with the law.

Lim said to date, ROS had not replied to DAP's request for the two clarifications, nor to the request to meet and discuss.

On July 30, ROS ordered DAP to hold its CEC election again and said it was not satisfied with the explanation given by the party on the issue of voting irregularities and manipulation involving 547 delegates.
