PETALING JAYA: Former Umno leaders Khairy Jamaluddin and Shahril Hamdan should join DAP as the party needs a prime ministerial candidate, says DAP’s Ong Kian Ming.

Ong said both Khairy and Shahril were suitable candidates for the country’s top post.

“DAP needs a prime ministerial candidate and both of you (Khairy and Shahril) fit the bill,” he said in the latest episode of the “Keluar Sekejap” podcast.

The former Bangi MP added that the pair should seriously consider joining DAP.

Ong was responding to a question from Khairy on whether he and Shahril should join DAP and why.

Khairy, a former Umno Youth chief and federal minister, was sacked from Umno in January while former Umno information chief Shahril was suspended for six years.
