People's Alternative Party
The People's Alternative Party or in Malay Parti Alternatif Rakyat is a political party in Malaysia formed by a group of former DAP leaders and members led by former Democratic Action Party vice-chairman Zulkifli Mohd Noor.
The PAP is based in Penang and intends to provide Malaysians with an alternative to Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan. The Registrar of Society approved PAP's registration as a political party on 30 October 2015.
On 27 February 2018, founder Zulkifli Mohd Noor resigned and left the party, along with nine other central executive committee members after A. David Dass hijacked the party and become president, formed a new central executive committee and brought in mostly ethnic Indian members to fill the vacated posts. In the 14th General Election, PAP partnered with the PAS-led Gagasan Sejahtera but failed in their maiden election with all their candidates having lost their deposits.
