PETALING JAYA: 

Kinrara assemblyman Ng Sze Han has been named the new Selangor DAP chairman, replacing Damansara MP Gobind Singh Deo who failed to make the cut in the elections to the state leadership today.

Klang MP V Ganabatirau has been appointed deputy chairman while Selangor speaker Ng Suee Lim and former three-term Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah were appointed vice-chairmen.

Gobind, who is the digital minister, was not among the 15 members who were elected to make up the Selangor DAP committee. He received 675 votes, to finish in 16th place.

Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin secured the top spot with 1,180 votes, followed by former Teratai assemblyman Tiew Way Keng and Ng (1,058 votes).

Yeo was appointed Selangor DAP secretary.

The delegates at today’s Selangor DAP convention in Shah Alam voted for 15 members to make up the state DAP committee, who then decided among themselves who should be appointed chairman and other key positions.

“Congratulations to the 15 committee members who have been selected,” said Ng, who is state executive councillor for investment, trade and mobility.

“As mentioned by DAP secretary-general (Loke Siew Fook) earlier this morning, once the election is over, everyone will work together as a team to serve the people and the nation.” - FMT
