PKR received more than 70,000 membership applications since Nov 24, 2021, says sec-gen

KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) received a total of 78,093 new membership applications between Nov 24 last year and Jan 31, 2022, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

The PKR secretary-general said those registered within that period will undergo vetting at the division level before their names are included in the party’s main register.

This will take place from Feb 3 to 9, and objections can be forwarded to the secretary-general’s office on or before Feb 9, he said.

"All objections will be processed and decided by the central leadership council and decisions made are final. The headquarters will issue the complete membership list as early as Feb 18 and submit it to the party selection committee to complete the roll for use during party elections,” he said in a statement Tuesday (Feb 1).

Prior to this, PKR chief organising secretary Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad was quoted as saying that until August 2020, the party had 1,004,629 registered members. - Bernama
