Array of big names in the running for PKR positions

GEORGE TOWN: The PKR elections kicked off Friday to pick their leaders for the next three years until 2025, with many having their eyes on the deputy presidency contested by Rafizi Ramli and Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

While Anwar Ibrahim has kept his party presidency uncontested, the fight for other leadership posts, such as for the four elected vice-presidents, is one to watch out for, as 17 are vying for all four.

Among those contesting are Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari, Wanita chief Fuziah Salleh, Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Aminuddin Harun and former Perak PKR chief Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak.

Other prominent names are PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil, party organising secretary Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and PKR central leadership member Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid.

Also in the mix are Tanjong Malim MP Chang Lih Kang; Alor Setar MP Chan Ming Kai; former Kapar MP G Manivannan; former Perak PKR deputy chairman MA Tinagaran; former Indera Mahkota MP Azan Ismail; former vice-president Mustaffa Kamil Ayub; former PKR Youth vice-president S Thiban; Sentosa assemblyman G Gunarajah; Chuah assemblyman Michael Yek and Bukit Selambau assemblyman R Summugam.
