DAP accepts Negeri Sembilan verdict with ‘full humility’, says Gobind
DAP national chairman Gobind Singh Deo also acknowledges Loke Siew Fook's defeat, but is confident the secretary-general will continue to serve the party and the people.
The Democratic Action Party (DAP) has accepted the results of the 16th Negeri Sembilan state election with "full humility," according to its national chairman Gobind Singh Deo. In a statement, Deo expressed the party's commitment to assessing the outcome, listening to voter concerns, and working to regain their confidence. The DAP praised those elected to form the next government, acknowledging their mandate given by the voters.
Deo congratulated the new administration, stating that the DAP respected the mandate and would strive to address the electorate's message.
DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook's defeat in Chennah was highlighted as a closely fought contest. Deo emphasized Loke's distinguished service to both the party and the people throughout his tenure. Loke's loss to Barisan Nasional’s MCA candidate Siow Kong Choon by a margin of 688 votes marked one of the most significant upsets in the election.
Additionally, DAP suffered another significant setback as they lost the Repah seat to MCA, a seat they had held for several terms. Despite these losses, the party managed to retain its other nine seats.
