PKR Deputy President to Defend Position in Party Elections
Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has announced that he will defend his position as PKR deputy president in the party elections scheduled for May 24.
In an effort to avoid internal party conflicts that could negatively impact the Unity Government leadership, Rafizi made the decision to contest. "If someone like me were to say that I am not interested and want to do something else, it would create too much drama within the government at a time when we really need to hold on for the next two to three years," he said.
PKR’s Focus in Party Polls
Rafizi has held the No. 2 party post since wresting it from Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail in the 2022 PKR elections. The Pandan MP previously contested the position in 2018 but lost to Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.
Rafizi emphasized that PKR’s primary focus in these party polls is to ensure the democratic process operates maturely and healthily while upholding PKR’s commitment to its role in government. "I don’t think the public wants to see too much drama from any political party. We should focus on the possibility of achieving high-income nation status by 2028," he said.
