DAP leadership engages northern delegates ahead of National Congress
GEORGE TOWN: About 400 DAP delegates from Penang, Kedah and Perlis attended an engagement session with party secretary-general Anthony Loke and the Central Executive Committee (CEC) leadership here last night.
On the evening of the 13th of August, approximately 400 DAP delegates from Penang, Kedah, and Perlis convened for an engagement session with party secretary-general Anthony Loke and the Central Executive Committee (CEC) leadership in George Town. This prelude to the party's national congress scheduled for the 16th of August aimed to facilitate discussions on party affairs, national matters, and the party's forthcoming direction.
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow hailed the session as an opportunity to reinforce cohesion among members prior to the congress in Putrajaya slated for the following day. In a Facebook post, he expressed gratitude towards Loke, party leaders, delegates, and colleagues from the northern region for their attendance and contributions of valuable perspectives.
The upcoming congress is anticipated to witness delegates deliberating on the party's stance and future trajectory within the Unity Government. This engagement session comes in the aftermath of Perak DAP's recent decision to remain part of the Unity Government until the end of the present parliamentary term. Perak DAP chairman Nga Kor Ming had earlier stated that this stance would enable the party to continue participating in policy-making while honoring its commitment to the electorate.
