00:07on September 22nd, thus stepping down as the party's state leader.

00:12He said he made his decision despite receiving a nomination letter from DAP headquarters

00:17on August 27th.

00:19When asked if this decision would affect his role as chief minister, he said it was ultimately

00:23up to the DAP central leadership.

00:26Later, the party's secretary-general, Lok Siu Fook, announced that Chow would continue

00:30to serve as chief minister and complete his term.

00:35Chow had also said when he was appointed to a second term as chief minister, Lok had

00:40asked him to work on a succession plan in Penang.

00:44He said not defending the chairmanship is the first step in this plan, allowing his

00:48successor more than three years to prepare for the next general election.
