Ronnie Liu voted out of Selangor DAP leadership

The Selangor DAP party election today saw its incumbent state secretary Ronnie Liu failing to make the cut to be part of its committee.

Liu (above) garnered only 477 votes, placing him in the 17th rank.

Meanwhile, incumbent chairperson Gobind Singh Deo ranked fifth with a total of 615 votes, ensuring him a seat in the state leadership.

The state DAP election is a two-tiered process where delegates only vote for the top 15 candidates that they want to see in the leadership.

Meanwhile, Sekinchan assemblyperson and Selangor state assembly speaker Ng Suee Lim garnered the highest number of votes - 786.

The list of top 15 candidates in the polls and the number of votes they garnered is as follows:
