KUALA LUMPUR: The DAP will not be able to nominate candidates to contest the next general election if they do not follow the instruction from the Registrar of Societies (RoS), says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).

Dr Ahmad Zahid, who is Home Minister, said this is because the Societies Act 1966 states that the letter of appointment for a party's election candidates must be signed by a party office bearer who has been given the mandate of the party.
