J Arul Kumar appointed Negeri Sembilan DAP chairman
He replaces party secretary-general Loke Siew Fook, who resigned as state chairman on Aug 3.
Nilai assemblyman and DAP vice-chairman J Arul Kumar has been appointed as the Negeri Sembilan DAP chairman, effective immediately. The state committee unanimously made this decision following his resignation from the position. DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook praised the appointment, stating that it showcases the party's commitment to being a multiracial organization.
The focus was on Arul's qualifications and leadership capabilities, rather than any specific political motivations. Loke also acknowledged Arul's continued success in the Nilai constituency, where he won the election with 15,797 votes, beating BN's Lai Chien Kong by a margin of 6,937 votes. This appointment comes shortly after Loke resigned from her position to take responsibility for the DAP's loss of two seats in the state polls, including Chennah, to the Barisan Nasional party.
