KUALA LUMPUR - The Democratic Action Party (DAP), a principal force in Malaysia's fractured political landscape, is embroiled in a leadership struggle threatening the dominance of the long-established father-son combo of Lim Kit Siang and Lim Guan Eng.

The party will hold a national convention in June to pick a new national leadership team.
