Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh was among three incumbents who were defeated in the Penang DAP polls today.
The other two were former Tanjong MP Ng Wei Aik and former Penang state exco Danny Law Heng Kiang.

New faces to make the cut in the top 15 were Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy, Penang state exco Zairil Khir Johari and Jelutong MP RSN Rayer.
