[KiniNews] There were no arrangements nor any indication that 2018 would be the last term he would be fielded for the Klang parliamentary seat, incumbent MP Charles Santiago said.
According to him, the remark by DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke, who claimed this, was instead an "afterthought" to mitigate the huge backlash over his replacement in the 15th general election (GE15) candidates list.
Charles said this in response to the recent statement by Loke that 2018 was supposed to have been the last term for Charles and that the latter had been notified accordingly.
"And even if the extent of the backlash freaks them out, it’s unbecoming of both Loke and
Gobind to hint that they were doing me a favour by allowing me to continue as a lawmaker given that I do not hold positions in the party," Charles said.
