Kuala Lumpur: PKR information chief Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has reaffirmed that his decision to contest for a seat in the party's Central Leadership Council (MPP) for the 2025-2028 term stems from a sense of responsibility to the reformist struggle, not a desire for position.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Fahmi stated that his candidacy reflects the trust placed in the Reformasi movement, which he has been part of for over two decades. "For more than two and a half decades, we have stood together in this Reformasi movement - from the streets to Putrajaya, from seeking justice for the oppressed, to rebuilding a fairer and more transparent system for all Malaysians," he mentioned in a Facebook post.
The Communications Minister emphasized that PKR is more than just a political party; it is a platform for reform, grounded in principles. He highlighted that its central leadership must embody the values of integrity, diligence, and courage that have defined the party since its founding in 1998.
Fahmi expressed his humble request for the trust of his fellow members to elevate KEADILAN (PKR) to greater heights, not just for current members but for future generations as well.
The nomination process, which concluded at 11.59 pm yesterday, confirmed that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim retained the presidency unchallenged. For the deputy president position, it will be a direct contest between Nurul Izzah Anwar and incumbent Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli.
Twelve candidates have submitted nominations for the vice-president posts, including four incumbents: Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Chang Lih Kang, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, and Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
In the Youth (AMK) chief post race, Finance Minister's political secretary Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim is the sole candidate. The Wanita chief post will witness a direct contest between Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail.
The PKR National Congress, which includes the AMK and Wanita Congress, is scheduled to be held in Johor Bahru from May 22 to 24, with polling set for May 23.
