00:00An analyst said DAP Secretary-General Lok Siew Fook has emerged as the biggest winner

00:07in the party's elections yesterday.

00:10James Chin of the University of Tasmania said Lok's push for a third-generation leadership

00:15has paid off, while his predecessor Lim Kwan Eng became the biggest loser of the night.

00:22Chin said Kwan Eng suffered a major setback, with many of his allies failing to secure

00:27top positions in the Central Executive Committee, indicating a decline in the former chairman's

00:33influence in the party.

00:36Kwan Eng was re-elected to DAP's top leadership despite only finishing 26th out of the top

00:4130, garnering 1,719 votes.

00:46The CEC later appointed him as advisor, while Gobind Singh Deo, who topped the polls with

00:512,785 votes, took over from him as DAP chairman.

00:57Meanwhile, Asmi Hassan of Academy Nusantara said Gobind's popularity stemmed from his

01:03apparent neutral stance amid internal bickering in DAP, which made him a natural choice for

01:09the delegates.

01:10Asmi said with Lok remaining as Secretary-General, DAP's relationship with UMNO is expected to

01:16strengthen due to his diplomatic approach, contrasting with Kwan Eng's more outright

01:22and brutal stance.
