Fahmi to contest for PKR vice-presidency

 

This would be PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil’s second time going for the party vice-presidency.

PETALING JAYA: 

PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil will be contesting for the vice-presidency during the party’s elections in May.

Fahmi believes there is room for him to make greater contributions to the party by becoming one of PKR’s four vice-presidents.

“The contest in PKR is a contest in the family. We will contest in a healthy manner, avoiding unhealthy elements.

“My team and I will offer our best ideas, because PKR is a party which looks to the future,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Kuala Lumpur today.

Fahmi, who is the communications minister, is the fifth PKR leader to announce their candidacy for the vice-presidency.

This is his second time contesting for the post, after his first attempt in the 2022 party polls which failed.

Yesterday, former Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar announced that she would also be gunning for one of the four vice-president’s posts.

The four vice-presidents elected in 2022 are Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari, Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Aminuddin Harun and federal ministers Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and Chang Lih Kang.

Amirudin, Aminuddin and Nik Nazmi have announced that they would be defending their vice-presidencies. - FMT
