Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has good news and bad news for DAP concerning its registration status.

The good news, said Zahid, is that that the Registrar of Societies (ROS) will not deregister the party.

The bad news is if DAP doesn't hold its central executive committee (CEC) re-elections as instructed, they may not be able to contest in the next general election.

Zahid said this is because the signatures of an approved party executive on their nomination papers for the election would not be valid.
