DAP has conceded defeat in the 17th Sabah state election after failing to retain any of the eight seats it contested.
Secretary-general Anthony Loke said the party fully respects the voters’ decision and will reflect on its shortcomings.
He took full responsibility for the outcome and pledged to rebuild public support for future elections.
Moving Forward After Setback
Loke congratulated the winning parties and candidates in a statement issued today.
He assured that Sabah DAP remains active through its two parliamentary seats in Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan.
Both MPs will step up groundwork in their respective areas, he added.
Heavy Losses Across Constituencies
The party suffered major defeats, including in Tanjung Aru where deputy chairman Chan Foong Hin lost to Parti Warisan.
DAP candidates were also defeated in Sri Tanjong, Kapayan, Elopura, Likas, Luyang, and Tanjung Papat.
If confirmed, this marks the first time since 2004 that DAP will have no seats in the Sabah State Legislative Assembly.
