KUALA LUMPUR — The Democratic Action Party has announced plans to convene an emergency central executive committee meeting to establish a unified party stance on the house arrest of former Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Party secretary-general Anthony Loke said the high-level meeting would take place to enable DAP leadership to discuss and determine the party's official response to the development. The urgent convening of the committee underscores the significance DAP leadership places on clarifying the party's position on the matter.
The move comes as Najib's detention continues to draw attention across Malaysia's political landscape. DAP, as a major component of the ruling coalition, seeks to ensure coordinated messaging among party officials regarding the case.
The timing of the emergency meeting reflects the party's commitment to maintaining internal cohesion on high-profile political developments. Once the CEC reaches a consensus, the party is expected to communicate its official stance through formal channels.
