JOHOR BARU: Speculation on who would officiate the PKR Youth and PKR Wanita congresses in Johor Baru on Thursday (May 22) has been resolved after PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh confirmed to Astro Awani that she would be taking on the responsibility.
The Malay language portal also reported that although it was customary for the party deputy president to officiate the congresses of both wings, the incumbent, Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, had earlier confirmed he would not attend.
Quoting online reports, Astro Awani reported that Fuziah had said the responsibility for officiating the congresses was given to her because other senior leaders were involved in the central leadership council (MPP) elections.
Although Rafizi confirmed he would not be officiating at the congress for these wings, he will still be in Johor Baru on May 20 for the final Hiruk series before attending the PKR national elections and congress on May 23 and 24.
Rafizi’s campaign goes by the acronym Hiruk, which stands for Hidupkan Idealisme Reformasi Dalam Ujian Kuasa (Reviving Reform Idealism in a Test of Power).
