Woo, who is also the DAP Youth chief, succeeds Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii to the post. His appointment was confirmed in a statement by the PH youth wing.

“PH Youth extends its deepest appreciation to the outgoing chief Dr Kelvin Yii, for his leadership, contributions, and dedication during his tenure,” it said.

With Woo at the helm, PH Youth reaffirmed its commitment to pushing for youth-centric policies, ensuring that the unity government and PH remain the top choice for young voters.

It also outlined the wing’s immediate priorities, including mobilising its full strength to secure victory for the unity government’s candidate in the upcoming Ayer Kuning by-election in Perak.

“Ahead of the upcoming Sabah state elections, PH Youth will strengthen the youth wings of its respective parties, enhancing their preparedness to support PH candidates in gaining the support of young voters.”

Beyond electoral strategies, PH Youth vowed to mobilise young Malaysians against divisive politics, condemning Perikatan Nasional (PN) for its alleged use of racial and religious sentiments to gain political mileage.
