Kit Siang, Guan Eng, Karpal take top spots in DAP polls

GEORGE TOWN: It was a family affair as DAP adviser and Ipoh Timur MP Lim Kit Siang and his son, party secretary general and Penang ChiefMinister Lim Guan Eng, took the top two slots at the central executive committee (CEC) elections held here on Saturday. 

Kit Siang garnered the most votes from the delegates – 1,607 while Guan Eng received 1,576 votes.

Party chairman Karpal Singh‘s strong stance on issues held him in good stead as he emerged with the third most votes – 1,411.

In the elections in 2008, Karpal only received 471 votes placing him in ninth spot. 

The others selected into the 20-member CEC are Chong Chieng Jen, Anthony Loke Siew Fook, Vincent Wu Him Ven, Tan Kok Wai, Gobind Singh Deo, Tony Pua, Teng Chang Khim, Fong Kui Lun, Nga Kor Ming, Chong Eng, Chow Kon Yeow, Liew Chin Tong, M Kulasegaran, Boo Cheng Hau, Teresa Kok, Teo Nie Ching and Ngeh Koo Ham.

These are the results of the those who were voted in today.

LIM KIT SIANG -1607

LIM GUAN ENG -1576

KARPAL SINGH – 1411

CHONG CHIENG JEN- 1211

LOKE SIEW FOOK (ANTHONY) -1202

WU HIM VEN (VINCENT) – 1202

TAN KOK WAI -1199

GOBIND SINGH DEO – 1197

PUA KIAM WEE (TONY)- 1162

TENG CHANG KHIM- 1152

FONG KUI LUN- 1137

NGA KOR MING -1075

CHONG ENG- 1006

CHOW KON YEOW- 986

LIEW CHIN TONG- 984

M. KULA- 984

BOO CHENG HAU- 958

KOK SUH SIM (TERESA) -925

TEO NIE CHING -903

NGEH KOO HAM – 824

The result is not in tandem on DAP Chairman Karpal’s call for new talents to be voted into the CEC. His call for one-candidate, one-seat also is not reflective in the result as seven double-seats YBs are voted in.

There are several interesting facts about this result.

1. The family dynasties are still the power-players and main central controlling figures in the party; Two Father-Son (Kit Siang-Guan Eng / Karpal-Gobind) and cousins (Ngeh-Nga)

2. Lim Guan Eng’s favourites and proxies Prof P Ramasamy , Ng Wei Aik, Zairil Khir Johari and Khoo Poay Tiong lost. Ng and Zairil are Lim’s Political Secretaries

3. 80% of the new CEC members are actually previous term CEC members

4. 8 of previousCEC members lost

5. Out of the seven Malay candidates (plus Zairil Khir Johari, if he is truly Malay), non won

6. Three Indian ethnic are voted in. Two of them are Punjabs and father-son relationship

7. Seven (35%) out the CEC members elected are double-seat elected representatives

8. The party constitution limits the Secretary General for only three terms. Hence, this is Lim Guan Eng’s last term. Unless by the next party elections, they amend the constitution

9.  No representation from Melaka, Pahang, Sabah and Kedah. Only one from Johor, considering that they claim that Johor is an important battleground. Lim Guan Eng started his political career in Melaka, where none were voted into the CEC

10. No fresh face in CEC
