SHAH ALAM: Party Election Committee of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has confirmed that re-elections will be held for the Selayang, Jempol and Silam branches.
Its chairman, Dr Zaliha Mustafa, announced that an internal notice would be sent to the three affected branches later, reported Sinar Harian.
"Yes, only at several levels. I will provide notice later. An internal notice will be sent to the branches," she told reporters after the Federal Territory Semarak Aidilfitri program in Putrajaya on Thursday (April 24).
This statement was made in response to speculation about re-election due to various reasons raised by several candidates who recently lost their positions.
Zaliha also confirmed that the committee has received several complaints regarding the election results in certain party branches, but these matters are still under review.
"There is no final decision yet. The committee's decision has not been finalised, so we cannot list the winners of those who contested," she added.
Among the prominent figures who lost in the election were Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and Deputy Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir.
In related news, Zaliha mentioned that the number of complaints and appeals received by the committee for this election was significantly lower than in the previous election.
Regarding allegations of inaccuracies in the election and unusual results, Zaliha defended the use of a “blockchain” system in the election as fraud-proof, asserting that it is far superior to the previous election process.
