PUTRAJAYA, Aug 16 — Democratic Action Party (DAP) delegates have voted overwhelmingly to remain in the federal government through the conclusion of the 15th Parliament’s term.
The decision was formalized following a special motion tabled by DAP Secretary-General Anthony Loke at the 2026 DAP Party Conference held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) today.
Announcing the official tally, Conference Speaker Cha Kee Chin confirmed that an overwhelming majority of delegates granted the party leadership a decisive mandate to continue its governance partnership within the federal coalition.
Out of 2,106 ballot papers issued, 1,857 delegates voted in favor of remaining in government, while 242 voted to leave, alongside seven spoilt ballots.
To guarantee full transparency and procedural integrity, delegates cast their votes via secret ballot rather than through traditional voice votes or a show of hands.
DAP currently holds five Cabinet minister posts, led by Anthony Loke (Transport Minister), Steven Sim (Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development), Gobind Singh Deo (Digital), Nga Kor Ming (Housing and Local Government), and Hannah Yeoh (Prime Minister’s Department, Federal Territories).
The party is also represented by seven deputy ministers: Teo Nie Ching (Communications), Datuk Chan Foong Hin (Agriculture and Food Security), Wong Kah Woh (Education), Liew Chin Tong (Finance), M. Kulasegaran (Prime Minister’s Department, Law and Institutional Reform), Lim Hui Ying (Women, Family and Community Development), and Mordi Bimol (Youth and Sports).
