PENANG, Sept 21 — Gerakan vice president Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan, 63, has been elected the party's Penang chairman, replacing Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Kon who was not defending the post.
The election's monitoring committee secretary Tan Sri Dr Chin Fook Weng announced today that Dr Teng secured 166 votes to beat Gerakan secretary-general Datuk Seri Chia Kwang Chye who polled 156 votes and Bukit Gelugor division head Cheang Chee Gooi who obtained 21 votes.
He also said that former Penang Gerakan Youth chief Huan Cheng Guan had withdrawn from the contest.
Dr Koh who is Gerakan acting president, did not contest because he wanted to focus on party work at the national level.
Meanwhile, the six people who were elected Penang Gerakan committee members were Ong Thean Lye (290 votes), Teh Leong Meng (275), Lim Boon Ben (250), Teoh Hang Chong (239), Mohan a/l Apparoo (220) and Lim Kean Guan (218). — Bernama
