PKR's new regulations barring its party election candidates from holding big events is not meant to target deputy presidential candidate Rafizi Ramli.
Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said this when asked if the new regulation was aimed at Rafizi.
"No, it is for all candidates," she said after a prayer event at Surau Al Falah, Taman Cempaka.
Malaysiakini reported today that PKR had rolled out a new set of strict regulations on June 26, which include prohibiting candidates from conducting ceramah or hosting large feasts attended by more than 100 people.
According to the circular sighted by Malaysiakini, PKR stressed such campaign events should be held behind closed doors.
Beside this, PKR also prohibits candidates from using group images in their campaign materials.
Candidates who breach these new regulations run the risk of disciplinary action or being barred from contesting in the party polls altogether.
In his Aug 20 letter objecting to part of the new regulations, Rafizi claimed these code of ethics were aimed at him.
He said the party's election committee, which issued the circular, held an antagonistic attitude toward him.
