Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari said he will defend his position as PKR vice-president as the party needs to be united.

SHAH ALAM: 

Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari will be defending his seat in PKR as vice-president in the coming party elections.

He said he believes PKR president Anwar Ibrahim needs direct support from Rafizi Ramli as his deputy.

“I will defend my position as vice-president because we need to be one united and strong voice to progress,” he said when officiating the Selangor PKR general meeting tonight.

Earlier today, Malaysiakini reported him as claiming there were suggestions for him to run for the deputy presidency in May.

However, he said he would only decide on the matter after meeting with Anwar, because he was concerned it may cause friction if there are too many people competing for various positions.

Amirudin, who has been vice-president since 2022, called on all contesting in the polls to mind their words and actions.

The party’s branch-level elections are scheduled from April 11 to 20, while the polls for the central leadership will be held on May 24.
