Instead, DAP decided to field its Deputy Youth Chief and Member of the Pahang State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Ketari Young Syefura Othman to contest for the seat. DAP Secretary-General Anthony Loke justified that Young Syefura was the most winnable candidate. Loke also revealed that Wong had been offered to contest for the Cameron Highlands seat, Wong however had rejected it and Loke expressed his respect towards his rejection. In strong response, Wong broke ranks with the party and announced that he would seek reelection as the Bentong MP by contesting for the Bentong seat as an independent candidate for the very first time, which was against the party rules and
