All office-bearers in the PKR Central Leadership Council (MPP) and branch committee members for the 2018-2021 term will remain in office until the next party elections, said party secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
He said this was one of the two motions approved in the PKR 2020 Annual National Congress today.
Another motion approved by the delegates was that the party elections, scheduled to be held in November this year, be postponed to a date to be set by the MPP, not later than May 2023.
Saifuddin, who tabled the MPP’s motion, said the party’s constitution, Article 47.1, stipulates the MPP could postpone party elections for up to 18 months.
“Hence, the MPP, on Feb 28, decided to postpone the 2021 party election until a date to be decided later,” he said.
He also explained that the term of office is only for three years, from November 2018 until November this year.
The two motions were then passed unanimously by the delegates.
About 2,000 delegates participated in the congress virtually through the Zoom video conferencing app starting at 8am today.
