Sarawak: The ‘Kita KEADILAN’ roadshow that recently concluded in Sarawak served as a platform to unite and strengthen Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) while introducing its party election candidates to delegates, PKR secretary-general Dr. Fuziah Salleh said.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the founder of the initiative mentioned that the tour received positive feedback, with most members viewing it as a reflection of mature politics. “This roadshow is a reunification process (after the divisional elections). So I started this initiative by offering a neutral platform. By the time we concluded the roadshow, we saw that the mood was positive – many party members praised the effort and said ‘this is what we want’. This is the mature politics we want to see,” she remarked.
Dr. Fuziah further elaborated that the roadshow provided a neutral platform for all candidates to meet and network without any ‘cai’ (factions), allowing them to associate without bias. The roadshow commenced with the southern zone (Johor and Melaka) on May 13, followed by the northern zone (Perlis, Kedah, Penang, and northern Perak) on May 15, the central zone (southern Perak, Selangor, the Federal Territories, and Negeri Sembilan) on May 16, and concluded with the Sabah zone (Sabah and Labuan) on May 17.
The roadshow also provided an opportunity for contesting candidates to present their ideals and manifestos to party delegates. Dr. Fuziah expressed optimism that delegates would be wise enough to choose the best candidates among the contenders. On May 10, PKR Central Election Committee (JPP) chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Zaliha Mustafa announced that a total of 251 candidates have entered the race for the party’s national leadership election for the 2025-2028 session. This includes 104 candidates for the Central Leadership Council (MPP), 85 for the youth wing, Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) Leadership Council, and 62 for the women’s wing, Wanita Keadilan Leadership Council.
The PKR National Congress, including the AMK and Wanita Keadilan congresses, is set to occur from May 22 to 24 in Johor Bahru, with polling scheduled for May 23.
