DAP central executive committee members convened an emergency meeting at the party's headquarters in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, following the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. The meeting commenced at 3.30pm and aimed to determine the party's official stance and subsequent actions in response to the decision.
Among those present were DAP national chairman Gobind Singh Deo, secretary-general Anthony Loke, and party vice-chairman Teo Nie Ching, among others. The Pardons Board had recently announced that Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, had granted Najib's request to serve his remaining prison term under house arrest until August 2028, contingent upon a RM50 million fine.
The emergency session occurred less than a month after a DAP delegates' vote at an August 16 conference, deciding to remain in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's unity government until the end of the current parliamentary term. A significant 1,857 delegates, representing about 88% of those who cast valid votes, supported this decision, while 242 opted for leaving the government.
DAP has historically been a staunch ally of Anwar and was a crucial member of the Pakatan Rakyat coalition before becoming part of the successor, Pakatan Harapan.
