PKR yet to decide on changing party election system
PUTRAJAYA, Nov 15 (Bernama) — PKR has yet to decide on changing its party election system from the ‘one member, one vote’ model to a delegate-based system, its Information Chief Fahmi Fadzil said.
No conclusive decision made
He said while the matter has been discussed, no conclusive decision has been made. "Don’t speculate or share unfounded information. I’ve gone through several reports, and as PKR’s Information Chief, I can confirm that no decision has been made at this stage. We have had discussions… so it’s difficult for me to respond to this speculation," he told a press conference today.
Opposition to proposed voting mechanism change
This clarification follows reports of a PKR division leader opposing the proposed voting mechanism change in a letter to other division leaders. The division leader argued that such a shift would restrict members’ voting rights and potentially weaken grassroots support.
