YOURSAY | DAP opts to stay, but turnout raises questions
‘Only 43 percent of total delegates voted, what convincing majority?’
The DAP opted to remain in the coalition government, with 2,223 delegates attending a special congress, representing approximately 52.12 percent of those registered. However, only about half, or 43.53 percent of the total DAP delegates, voted in favor of the party staying in government. This has raised questions about the persuasiveness of the majority.
The DAP secretary-general, Anthony Loke, will need to explain why almost half of the grassroots members either abstained from voting or did not turn up at all. Despite the controversy, some observers believe staying is the best option for the opposition, as Pakatan Harapan is currently in a difficult position.
