Ramkarpal defeated in Penang DAP polls, Jagdeep clinches last spot in state committee


GEORGE TOWN: Ramkarpal Singh (pic) was the surprise "casualty" in the state party election while his elder brother Jagdeep Singh Deo only clinched the last spot in the state committee.

Jagdeep, 49, managed to only secure 655 votes to win the last spot in the 15-seat state committee, a far cry from his last showing in 2018, where he garnered the second highest number of votes, thus paving the way for him to be the state deputy chairman.
