| The Selangor DAP committee elections, which have been postponed since May, finally took place yesterday on Nov 14.
While an elected representative may not get along with all members in his or her constituency, I can safely say that nearly all elected representatives in Selangor DAP enjoy majority support of the grassroots in their respective constituencies. A so-called “educated” elite can be more hardworking and goes down to the ground more often than a so-called “grassroots” leader.
But it does mean that the way this discussion takes place must not result in harming the larger reputation and internal cohesion of the party. As long as the core principles and the future direction of the state committee are aligned, these differences demonstrate the strength of diversity within the party leadership.The DAP I’ve known has always been focused on giving opportunities to younger members and leaders to gain experience and exposure at different levels of government and elected office since the 2000s.
The challenge for the party is to ensure that these young leaders are given the space and opportunity to be effective in their respective roles in the party and in the state government.Moving forward, the main challenge facing the DAP in Selangor is to find new strategies for different leaders and members within the party to advocate for more progressive and inclusive policies in the state government.
This requires strategic coordination and communication by the DAP with our Harapan coalition partners to find room to implement some of the policies and plans including on some potentially sensitive issues such as local government elections.
