In its second re-election since 2012, DAP delegates have chosen to retain 90 percent of its central executive committee (CEC), with party veteran Lim Kit Siang reclaiming the top spot.

But not all of the same faces remain, as the CEC has decided to undertake a major reshuffle of its appointed members.

Of the leaders that delegates voted for today, 18 out 20 were retained.

The two individuals who are no longer in the CEC are former committee member Boo Cheng Hau, who obtained 384 votes, and late chairperson Karpal Singh, who died in a car accident in 2014.
