Saifuddin: PKR polls needed to restore party leadership decimated by ‘Sheraton Move’
KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the party’s internal election must be held urgently as it lacked all the leaders needed to fully prepare for the 15th general election.
“The party doesn’t have its deputy president and its four vice presidents but they want us to prepare for GE15 and they want us to win, that’s going to be difficult the way it is now. Last month, Rafizi announced his return to politics in a bid to “save” PKR following the party’s dismal showing in the last three state elections.
Saifuddin, who rejected this description, said he was prepared to go to war for the party if needed, but preferred diplomacy when possible as he was a “team player”. “I, however, have moved on. Obviously I don’t agree with what they did but the party is broken into pieces and Azmin isn’t here anymore.
