PETALING JAYA: Damansara MP Gobind Singh Deo secured the top spot in the election of DAP’s 2025-2028 central executive committee (CEC) today with 2,785 votes.
Sarawak DAP chief Chong Chieng Jen finished second with 2,631 votes while deputy communications minister Teo Nie Ching was third with 2,585.
They were followed by Selangor executive councillor Ng Suee Lim (2,563), transport minister Loke Siew Fook (2,508) and Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin (2,503).
Also making it into the top 10 were Selangor DAP chief Ng Sze Han (2,437), Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong (2,390), deputy agriculture and food security minister Chan Foong Hin (2,362) and deputy education minister Wong Kah Woh (2,265).
Among the biggest upsets were firebrand Jelutong MP RSN Rayer, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok and deputy finance minister Lim Hui Ying, who all failed to make it into the party’s 30-member CEC.
Other big names who failed to make the cut were former human resources minister V Sivakumar, former youth chief Dr Kelvin Yii, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng and Klang MP V Ganabatirau.
Representatives from Selangor top the CEC lineup with six, followed by Penang and Johor (four each), Negeri Sembilan and Perak (three each), Sarawak (two) and Sabah, Pahang and Melaka (one each).
The incoming CEC is a mix of veterans and new faces. They will now elect the party’s office-bearers for the 2025-2028 term from among themselves.
