PUTRAJAYA: The PKR central leadership council meeting on Wednesday (April 23) afternoon will be chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, says party secretary general Fuziah Salleh.
According to Fuziah, it is just a normal PKR central leadership meeting which was brought forward to Wednesday (April 23) from the initially scheduled meeting this weekend.
“It will be about matters pertaining to the congress, party, the delegations and finalising some decisions. These are some of the agenda,” said Fuziah when met at the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry Hari Raya Aidilfitri reception on Wednesday (April 23).
The meeting is scheduled to start at 4.30pm at Seri Perdana on Wednesday (April 23).
On Sunday (April 20), Fuziah said the meeting on Wednesday was held following objections and claims questioning the transparency of the results of the party election.
But, Fuziah had stressed that this is not an emergency meeting, as the requisite seven-day notice was duly given.
Several top candidates contesting in the party polls confirmed that they had submitted formal appeals to PKR’s election committee following concerns raised over the transparency of the results and process.
Several prominent figures, including ministers and MPs, lost in their respective divisions.
Among those who failed to retain or win posts were Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who lost the Setiawangsa division chief post; Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abdul Halim, who lost the contest for the Hang Tuah Jaya division deputy chief; and Deputy Unity Minister K. Saraswathy, who lost the Bukit Bintang division chief contest.
Also defeated were Batu MP P. Prabakaran, Wangsa Maju MP Zahir Hassan, Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail and Sungai Siput MP S. Kesavan in their respective divisions.
