PETALING JAYA:
Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail has challenged Wanita PKR chief Fadhlina Sidek to a debate on the direction and future of the PKR women’s wing.

Rodziah, who is challenging Fadhlina for the post, said she was taking a leaf from Rafizi Ramli, who two days ago said he was eager to take part in a debate with Nurul Izzah Anwar as they contest for the PKR deputy presidency.

“Today, I also want to invite the current Wanita PKR chief (Fadhlina) to a debate with me on the future of this wing. Let’s see what future and direction we have planned for Wanita PKR.

“Let’s debate about how we plan to increase the number of women MPs in PKR from four currently to having even more female candidates winning seats,” she said at a campaign event in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

Rodziah, who is a running mate with Rafizi, said she was not a great debater but was willing to take to the platform so she could share her plans for Wanita PKR.

She also quipped that Nurul Izzah, who is vying for the PKR deputy presidency, could join them too. “If Nurul Izzah wants to join as well, we can hold a forum instead, no problem.”

In the 2022 party elections, Rodziah lost the race to lead Wanita PKR to Fadhlina by 32 votes. Fadhlina received 18,923 votes, while Rodziah garnered 18,891.
