BIG TROUBLE FOR DAP: MAJORITY 2,407 DELEGATES (56%) ACTUALLY VOTED TO QUIT FROM PH

Well the DAP congress ended yesterday 16th Aug 2026.  Also yesterday I received this vote count (issued by the DAP).  I immediately sensed something was not right.   

They kept crowing that 4,264 delegates would attend the DAP gathering. 
But if you add 1,857 + 242 = then only 2,099 delegates  attended and voted. 
What happened to the balance of 2,165 delegates who were supposed to attend?
4,264 - 2099 = 2,165 or 50% of delegates did not attend the congress.

And only 1,857 delegates voted to stay in PH.  242 voted against the motion.
So if you add the 242 to the 2,165 delegates who did not attend the congress, it means 2,407 DAP candidates potentially are against the motion for the DAP to stay in the PH.

2,407 is 56% of the total 4,264 delegates. That is a majority of the candidates.

This is exactly what has been pointed out by P Ramasamy - former DAP member and ex Deputy Chief Minister of Penang.  His numbers are slightly different but close. Here is Free Malaysia Today:

DAP congress was dramatised as do-or-die moment for DAP
it was expected at least 80% to 90% of delegates would attend.
Poor congress turnout suggests things are not well in DAP, says Rama
FMT Reporters
Ex-DAP leader says congress to determine party's direction 
following defeats in three state elections.
P Ramasamy said 2,223 out of 4,264 delegates, just 52%
‘abysmally low’ for special congress to vote on a major party decision
low turnout of delegates at DAP special congress yesterday
nearly 50% of delegates did not attend the special congress
If higher percentage attended, motion could have been defeated.
absence of nearly 50% delegates indicates DAP is not well 
non-support for motion to remain in government
DAP should ponder if congress’ decision reflected majority 
2,223 delegates attended 
2,099 voted 
1,857 delegates voted to remain in government 
242 voted to leave the administration
Anthony Loke said turnout considered high (Anthony Loke higher mathematics)
Rama criticised Loke 
it was no ordinary DAP conference 
Aug 16 congress to determine political direction of party 
after poor performances in Sabah, Johor and Negeri Sembilan 

Anthony Loke just made it worse for the party. They are now sailing into really rough water.

The rocket might explode on the launch pad. 

The DAP's biggest weakness lies outside the party. Anthony Loke adamantly refuses to see that PKR and PH are really pulling the DAP underwater. 

Are there other benefits Mr Anthony? You are sending your party to the Club of Doom.
