PETALING JAYA: Newly-elected PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar has been appointed as the party’s election co-director, says the party’s information chief.
Datuk Fahmi Fadzil also added that Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has also been appointed to the position.
The co-directors succeeded former PKR deputy president Datuk Rafizi Ramli, who recently lost the party polls leading to his resignation from Cabinet.
Fahmi said a meeting by the PKR political bureau and central leadership council was held on Saturday (June 21) to decide the appointments along with several others.
Also appointed were Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh (secretary-general), William Leong (treasurer-general), Fahmi (information chief) and Sabah state leadership council chairman Datuk Mustapha Sakmud.
“The meeting expressed its utmost gratitude to the sacrifice, contributions and service to the former deputy president and other previous leaders. It is hoped that they will continue to contribute to the party and its struggle,” said Fahmi in a statement on Saturday.
He added that the meeting also discussed current geopolitical and economic issues, as well as the party’s machinery preparations facing Sabah state elections.
