JOHOR BAHRU: Members of the PKR State Leadership Council today pledged their full and unconditional support for party president Anwar Ibrahim to continue leading the party.
The leaders, who comprise members of Parliament, state assemblymen, divisional and youth wing chairmen, said in a statement they were fully committed to supporting Anwar in his effort to be the nation’s eighth prime minister.
The statement comes a day after PKR’s Johor state chief Hassan Abdul Karim resigned. Anwar said yesterday that Hassan had stepped down because he felt he was a burden on the party. Anwar said there were squabbles among party members, and a problem that arose with the Johor palace.
Earlier today, six PKR state leaders said they supported Anwar “in facing any challenge against any efforts by those who want to weaken our party”. However, the statement was not signed by the Johor, Selangor and Sarawak state leaders.
