DAP grassroots has consistently voted in Lim Kit Siang to the party's central executive committee (CEC), which attests to his continued relevance to the party, said DAP vice-chairperson Teresa Kok.

Kok said that even at the age of 76 and after 51 years in politics, Kit Siang's continued election to the CEC proved that he still enjoyed strong support and any suggestions otherwise was baseless.

She added that Kit Siang remains the most sought after speaker by organisers of DAP events throughout the country.
