Some years ago, DAP Selangor voted Gobind Deo with top number of votes, making him the chairperson for DAP in that state - the members were rumoured to be 'cheesed off' with a certain brash (also snobbish) bloke (Tokong's right hand man then).
I suspect DAP Penang voted Gobind Deo's brother, Ramkarpal, with top number of votes, because the members could be subtly moderating dynastic ambitions, wakakaka.
