PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has labelled Nurul Izzah Anwar’s appointment as one of PKR vice-presidents a “compromise” to prevent any rifts from widening following the party’s recent contentious polls.
Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara believes that this “compromise” was reached between party president Anwar Ibrahim and his newly elected deputy, Rafizi Ramli.
Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara believes that this “compromise” was reached between party president Anwar Ibrahim and his newly elected deputy, Rafizi Ramli.
Nurul Izzah is said to be aligned to Rafizi, who had defeated Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the former federal minister said to be in Anwar’s camp.
Saifuddin was reappointed as the party’s secretary-general.
Azmi said he believes the appointments of Nurul Izzah and Saifuddin were aimed at appeasing the members who were split into two factions.
