PETALING JAYA: Incoming PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli will be starting his campaign for the next general election (GE15) soon, saying he cannot afford to wait for the official results of the party elections to be announced.

In a Facebook post this evening, Rafizi said he would begin announcing his GE15 campaign next week through the Ayuh Malaysia platform to share some “new ideas” with Malaysians.


However, his views on the party’s decision to postpone the PKR national congress would be made internally.

“Our priority is to build the trust of the people over our agenda for the future, one that can improve the lives of the people. GE15 is actually very near and internal party matters should be resolved as soon as possible.

“Since matters in PKR have yet to be resolved, we will campaign to the people through Ayuh Malaysia,” the former Pandan MP said.

Rafizi urged interested Malaysians to take part in his upcoming campaign by contributing their energy and ideas, and that the people should not just depend on politicians.

“Governments will change but the nation will continue to progress when its people are good-hearted and genuine in mobilising ideas that prioritise the people’s welfare,” he said.

Rafizi is expected to be named Anwar Ibrahim’s new deputy in PKR following the party’s elections two weeks ago. His only contender for the post, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, had congratulated Rafizi after the latter secured an insurmountable lead in votes.


But PKR’s national congress, where the winners of the top posts will be announced, has been postponed to July 15-17, pending a forensic audit into the results of the party polls.

It was initially scheduled to be held on June 24 to 26.

The audit was initiated following multiple claims of “missing” votes and disputes over the results for various party posts.
