Shah Alam: DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke stressed that yesterday’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) election outcome had nothing to do with the position of Ministers or Deputy Ministers from the party in the Unity Government cabinet. Loke, who is also the Seremban Member of Parliament, stated that all existing cabinet members in the party remain unchanged and there will be no reshuffle.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Loke emphasized that the DAP CEC election only involved the party’s internal affairs and did not concern other parties participating in the Unity Government. He clarified that DAP leaders will continue representing the party, and Ministers or Deputy Ministers, irrespective of their CEC membership, will maintain their current roles.

“The party will not propose any changes to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. A reshuffle from DAP will not arise; recommendations will come from the party, not individuals. The party will not recommend anything unless the PM wants to make changes,” Loke stated. He further explained that if the Prime Minister wishes to reshuffle, he would consult the party’s views. As the party secretary-general, Loke assured that he would not propose any changes to the PM and that the current status would remain.

Loke, who also holds the position of Transport Minister, made these statements to reporters after attending the Transport Minister’s Meeting with Community Leaders and the Iftar Ceremony, which was also attended by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.

Earlier, 30 members were appointed to the DAP Central Supreme Committee (CEC) following the voting session during the 18th DAP National Congress at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) in Shah Alam. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo received the highest number of votes, followed by Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen and Kulai MP and Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching.
