Well it certainly was a surprise to me. And that was not the only surprise! I was also surprised by the amount of votes that Chen got or Low received. I understand that the majority of cadres were stunned when someone nominated Chen for SG. Any way Low got approximately 45% for those who are entitled to votes which is about 130 cadres. Approximately 24 either abstained or did not turn up or too shocked. Chen got about 35% of the eligible votes. Does not surround encouraging.

My understand is that Sylvia, Pritam and Faisal did well in the polls but not Chen. Interesting that Pritam got the highest votes to enter CEC followed by Chen.

It does say that WP is more a democratic party than the PAP. The votes received by the top twelve in the PAP are not even revealed to the 6,000cadres. It also known that the top twelve are spelled out as the desired choice and sent out to super cadres who then use the cell formation to influence those "subordinate" cadres below them.
