Nurul Izzah said a major focus of the PKR congress was how the party can carry out internal reforms to better equip itself to face future challenges.

“As we move into the 24 months leading up to GE16, we aim to fully harness the power and voices of women and young people,” she told a press conference after the congress at the Persada International Convention Centre here today.

She said a party in government must remain resilient and continue strengthening its ideals.

“Whether one wins or loses in this round of party elections, the most important thing is to uphold our camaraderie,” she said.

Nurul Izzah praised former PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail for openly expressing his thoughts to party delegates.

“Today isn’t just about the speeches. We want everyone at every level, from central, state or division, to meet and reflect, offering constructive criticism and continuing to work together,” she said.

Earlier, Saifuddin, speaking in his capacity as Pakatan Harapan secretary-general, admitted that he feared the possibility of the party losing Rafizi Ramli.

The home minister said he had mixed feelings after the results of the race for the deputy president’s post were announced yesterday.

Nurul Izzah secured 9,803 votes, winning in the straight fight with Rafizi for the party’s deputy presidency.
