DAP to Reassess Cabinet Role Following Regional Election Defeats

Transport Minister and DAP Secretary-General Anthony Loke confirmed that 4,000 delegates will decide whether the party continues to occupy its five ministerial and seven deputy ministerial seats. The party faces mounting pressure from voters dissatisfied with the government's approach to corruption, religious tensions, and stalled reform efforts. Loke, who recently lost his own seat in the Negeri Sembilan state legislature after a 13-year tenure, clarified that the motion concerns only the party's presence on the front bench. Regardless of the outcome, the party intends to maintain its membership within the Pakatan Harapan coalition and its support for the Prime Minister. With the next general election not scheduled until 2028, this internal referendum serves as a critical test of the administration's stability amid rising internal friction.
