Fresh CEC Elections Will Take Place As Planned, Says DAP's Guan

Fresh CEC elections will take place as planned, says DAP’s Guan Eng Malaysian Insider Sept 11 , 2013 By EILEEN NG DAP is going ahead with fresh elections for its central executive committee (CEC) despite attempts to stop it by a disgruntled member. Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng (pic) called on delegates to turn up in full force to ensure it can proceed smoothly later this month. "We hope for a good turnout. There are concerns about attempts to sabotage the re-election. "I hope delegates can turn up for the polls to proceed smoothly and to save the party," he said at the party's headquarters today. Lim said they have yet to receive the injunction by a grassroots leader to stop the election. "Let our lawyers deal with it. We'll proceed with the re-election until we get instructions from the court," he said. The lawyers who will be handling this are DAP chairman Karpal Singh and Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo. Yesterday, Ladang Paroi branch deputy chairman A. David Dass claimed to have filed an injunction to stop the re-election on September 29, claiming that it was against the party's constitution. DAP is holding fresh elections for its CEC in order to avoid deregistration following a directive by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) on July 30. The re-election was ordered by RoS after several disgruntled members claimed that the election in December last year was not properly conducted after the party announced that a glitch had resulted in the wrong candidate being elected to the CEC. These disgruntled members also claimed they were not informed of the party polls. Party national organising secretary Anthony Loke had rebutted the allegations that it did not inform 753 delegates of the party polls and produced evidence of members' attendance record, signatures and postal receipts which showed notices were sent out. — September 11, 2013.
