Poor congress turnout suggests things are not well in DAP, says Rama
Ex-DAP leader says the congress was meant to determine the party's direction following key defeats in three recent state elections.
Former DAP leader P Ramasamy has expressed concern over the poor attendance at his former party's recent special congress. Out of 4,264 delegates, only 2,223 participated, constituting just 52% turnout. Ramasamy deemed this turnout abysmally low for a significant party decision-making event.
He argued that the low attendance, with nearly 50% of delegates absent, suggests serious underlying issues with the DAP. Ramasamy questioned whether this reflected the true sentiments of the majority party members.
The congress, held on August 16th, was expected to decide the party's political direction following poor electoral performance in several states. It was described as a critical, "do-or-die" moment for DAP. Despite being dramatized in the days leading up to the congress, the actual turnout was notably low, prompting Ramasamy's criticism of DAP's leadership.
