Fuziah confirms PKR leadership council meeting, but denies it’s an emergency

PETALING JAYA: PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh has confirmed that the party’s central leadership council will convene a meeting on Wednesday, but denies it is an emergency meeting, as claimed in a report.

She told FMT that the meeting was called with due notice given, following a request by some council members.

“I called for the meeting as requested, with the agreement of the party president. However, it is not an emergency meeting as claimed, because the requisite seven-day notice was duly given.

“The only difference is that the meeting was called at the request of some council members and is not a scheduled monthly meeting,” she added.

However, she did not divulge any further information on the agenda for the meeting.

Earlier, Malaysiakini reported that an “urgent” PKR central leadership council meeting will be convened on Wednesday to discuss alleged irregularities during the party’s ongoing divisional elections.

The news portal reported that the meeting was called at the request of more than 20 council members, which is above the one-third requirement as per the party’s constitution.

Last week, PKR’s Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail urged the party to postpone the remainder of its division elections scheduled for this weekend following alleged “irregularities” in the polling process.

Rodziah said she discovered some suspicious incidents in the Selangor PKR division elections last week, including the alleged failure to record votes for the division chief’s post in Shah Alam.

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung and Rawang assemblyman Chua Wei Kiat also said they will appeal the outcome of yesterday’s Selangor PKR division elections after losing the race for the position of division chiefs.

Lee said he had received numerous calls and messages questioning the transparency of the polling process and confirmed that his team would be submitting an official appeal to the party’s election committee.

PKR vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad yesterday said he will file an appeal after failing to defend his Setiawangsa division chief post.

Nik Nazmi, a federal minister and two-term Setiawangsa MP, said he will use the party’s proper channels to raise several “issues” that surfaced during the divisional election.
