ROS: Validity of DAP’s CEC in question until complete report is submitted


(The Star) – DAP’s central executive committee (CEC) will continue to be in a “hung” position until the party sends a complete report on its special congress and fresh re-election.

Registrar of Societies (ROS) deputy director-general Alias Mamat said they could not make any decision on the validity of the freshly re-elected CEC because DAP had sent an incomplete report.

“We have asked DAP to immediately give us a full report complete with the list of participating branches and delegates, among others,” he said.

He added that DAP should not use delaying tactics if it was serious in wanting to resolve the dispute with disgruntled members as soon as possible.

It is learnt that DAP had only submitted a brief report on its special congress held in September.

DAP held a fresh re-election following complaints lodged by members to ROS against the leadership’s move to amend the party election result in January this year that saw Zairil Khir Johari securing an elected position.

Alias said ROS also did not recognise the CEC’s move to appoint Zairil as the Kedah DAP chairman to replace democratically elected Lee Guan Aik.

“We have to recognise Lee as the rightful chairman who was elected during the last recognised state party election.

“We made the decision on the Kedah DAP chairman post because we have yet to get a full report with the necessary information on DAP’s CEC fresh election,” he said.
