KUALA LUMPUR: The appointment of PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar and Pakatan Harapan secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as joint election directors will give PKR an edge in the upcoming elections, say Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
The PKR information chief said both leaders had previously taken on similar roles and brought with them valuable experience and strategic strengths.
"Both have carried out this responsibility before, and in the current context, their appointment gives PKR an advantage, as each leader brings unique strengths that are well-suited for the task.
"So, I see this as a net positive for PKR, Pakatan, and the unity government,” he told reporters at the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya’s Kita Madani Carnival, held at IWK Eco Park, Lembah Pantai, here on Sunday (June 22).
Also present was Information Department director-general Julina Johan.
Fahmi, who is also the Communications Minister, had said in a statement on Saturday (June 21) that the appointments of Nurul Izzah and Saifuddin Nasution were decided during the PKR political bureau and central leadership council meeting.
The same meeting also agreed to reappoint Fahmi as PKR information chief, while Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh and William Leong retained their roles as secretary-general and treasurer-general, respectively.- Bernama
