Former MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek won the president's post with a slim 68-vote majority, edging former number one Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting and incumbent Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat in the party's elections.
Dr Chua, 62, polled 901 votes to Ka Ting's 833, Tee Keat came in third with 578 votes.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai clinched the deputy president's post when he garnered 1,171 votes to beat former vice-president and fellow Cabinet minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha by 65 votes. Kong had obtained 1,106 votes.
For the four posts of vice-president, sole woman contender Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen had the highest number of votes - 1,528, followed by former vice-president Datuk Donald Lim (1,469), Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung (1,202) and Central Committee (CC) member Gan Ping Sieu (also 1,202).
The MCA CC reflects that of presidential race with no clear winner among the three factions.
The question arises: Can Dr Chua Soi Lek unite MCA ?
