Issuing the reminder on X, Amirudin urged candidates to take advantage of the upcoming party elections as a platform to present ideas and visions in a mature manner, Bernama reported.

“This election is an opportunity for us to reflect on our past term’s performance, to be evaluated by party members, and to be observed by the public.

“As a core party in the unity government, the people will be watching our every action and behaviour. Let us all demonstrate peaceful and mature politics for everyone’s benefit,” he said.

The nomination process, which ended last Friday, saw Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim retaining his presidency unchallenged, while the deputy president’s post will see a contest between Nurul Izzah Anwar and incumbent Rafizi Ramli, who is also the economy minister.

Aside from Amirudin, 11 others have submitted their nominations for the four vice-president’s post. They include three other incumbents – Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (natural resources and environmental sustainability minister), Chang Lih Kang (science, technology and innovation minister) and Aminuddin Harun (Negeri Sembilan menteri besar).

The finance minister’s political secretary, Kamil Munim, was uncontested for the position of PKR Youth chief, while incumbent Fadhlina Sidek (education minister) and Rodziah Ismail (Ampang MP) will have a rematch for the position of Wanita PKR chief.

The PKR national congress is scheduled to be held from May 21 to 24 in Johor Bahru, with May 23 set as polling day for the various positions.
