Gobind to Continue Representing DAP in Cabinet Despite Loss
SEBERANG PERAI, Nov 11 — Despite failing to secure a position in the Selangor DAP 2024-2027 party election yesterday, Gobind Singh Deo will continue representing DAP in the Cabinet, said party secretary-general Anthony Loke.
Continued Leadership Role
The Transport Minister stressed that Gobind, who is also the Digital Minister, will continue to play an important role in DAP national leadership as the national deputy chairman.
"The defeat in Selangor yesterday does not mean that he has to step aside, definitely no. I want to stress that he will continue to represent the party in the Cabinet," Loke told reporters after attending the signing of the memorandum of agreement between the Railway Assets Corporation (RAC) and the Penang Housing Board and the signing of the head of agreement between RAC and Rivanis Ventures for redevelopment of the Kampung Manis land here, today.
Thanking Gobind’s Contribution
"I would also like to thank Gobind for his contribution to the Selangor DAP all these years," he said.
Accepting the Decision
While describing Gobind’s loss in the state party elections as a shock defeat, Loke admitted that it was normal in the democratic process and that the Damansara MP had accepted the delegates’ decision with an open heart.
New Chairman for Selangor DAP
In the party’s state election yesterday, Gobind, who was incumbent Selangor DAP chairman, did not make the cut for the 2024-2027 committee after emerging in the 16th spot with 675 votes, while State Investment, Trade and Mobility Committee chairman Ng Sze Han has been elected as the new chairman of Selangor DAP.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Gobind’s loss in the Selangor DAP party election does not affect his role as a national leader and minister in the Cabinet. His continued commitment to the party and its leadership is a testament to his dedication and hard work.
