Losing by a whisker of 238 votes in her election debut will not signal the end of Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud's politcal career.
Speaking to about 200 dejected supporters gathered at the party operations centre in the Perak town, she said this is not the last time they will hear of her.
"This is not the end of Dyana Sofya. The people of Teluk Intan just knew me for two weeks, but gave me 19,919 votes. I will not let you down," said the calm-looking DAP candidate clad in a purple baju kurung and black scarf.
The 27-year-old politician said that her struggle is not to win a MP seat but for a greater purpose.
"We need to put a stop to racial politics. I am not only contesting against Mah (Siew Keong), but the whole machinery (of BN).
"Mah only won by (about) 200 votes," she said.
Tears flow at operations centre
She also said that although she was defeated, she will continue to contribute to Teluk Intan.
"Don't be disappointed, be with me and continue the fight, I invite all of you to join us in the fight," she said.
Though she appeared calm, there was a moment when she paused appearing to keep her composure in check, when thanking the supporters and campaign team.
She was accompanied by DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and other DAP leaders who came to thank supporters.
The atmosphere was sombre at the operations centre, with many supporters seen shedding tears and hugging each other in dismay.
