AMPANG:
Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail is considering contesting the Wanita PKR chief’s post again after stating that the wing has become “lethargic”.

Rodziah said that while she had not decided on the matter, numerous party members had asked her to lead the women’s wing.

In the 2022 party elections, Rodziah lost to Fadhlina Sidek by 32 votes.

“I am looking at the needs (of the wing) and I understand the desire from the grassroots for me to lead (the wing),” she told reporters at an event here.

“I realise there are many areas that need improvement… I notice a bit of lethargy. The wing needs a breath of fresh air.”

In the 2022 party elections, Fadhlina received 18,923 votes, while Rodziah garnered 18,891.

Meanwhile, Rodziah also said she would defend her position as Shah Alam division chief at the party’s upcoming polls.

PKR is scheduled to hold division-level elections from April 11 to 20, with the central leadership elections taking place on May 24.
