PKR may insist that the untoward incidents only involved 5 percent of its divisions that have hit the polls, but last weekend's fiasco has set the tone for the final round of division meetings.

The final 38 divisions in Selangor, Sarawak, Johor, Kedah and Penang are due to vote this weekend, with party officials under pressure to get it right this time around.

dap set pak lah free forum 121006 nik nazmi nik ahmad The division to watch out for would be Kelana Jaya with Selangor deputy chief Syed Sharir Mohamud and newly-appointed communications director Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad ( left ) tag-teaming for the top two posts.

The fight is expected to be heated there as the duo face off against Abdul Razak Mohamed Talil and S Vigneswaran for the division's top two posts.

Party sources anticipate a proxy fight in the Selangor division with the relatively unknown twosome said to be backed by Soh Chee Wen, linking them to the Zaid Ibrahim faction.

A deputy president hopeful, Zaid has been fending off allegations of money politics inadvertently tied to Soh's deep pockets.

However, it is unclear why Zaid, who is the founder of the nation's largest law firm, would require financial backing.

If allegations of the Soh-Zaid connection is to hold water, Saturday may see sparks fly among their supporters as Nik Nazmi is openly backing vice-president Azmin Ali for the party number two seat.

Will MB Khalid prevail in Kuala Selangor?

Eyes will also be glued to the outcome of the Kuala Selangor division meeting on Sunday, with Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim trying his fortune in a four-cornered fight.

NONE Although he garnered enough divisional nominations to run for the number two office last weekend, Khalid's ( right ) lips are sealed over whether he will be part of the increasingly heated contest.

Losing in Kuala Selangor would not only mean considerable humiliation for the bigwig, it could also negatively impact on his decision on whether or not to go for deputy president.

This would then thin out the chances of Zaid opting out of the contest, following both veiled and direct attacks on him by top party leaders.

Speculation is rife that the PKR Federal Territories chief may withdraw from the race, and pass the batton to Khalid, whom he said is a more experienced and capable leader.

When announcing his candidacy, the PKR Federal Territories chief had said that he will only contest if Khalid is not in the same race.

While the MB had lost face when he conceded the Selangor chief post to Azmin, he still maintains an overall positive image, especially compared to Zaid in recent days.

Nevertheless the scathing criticism hurled by delegates at the party congress in Kota Bharu earlier this year still indicate unhappiness with his apparent tight-fisted approach to party leadership.

More elected reps jump into fray

azmin ali interview 220307 point Neighbouring divisions Ampang and Gombak will also be interesting to follow, with key player Azmin and another of his supporters Wanita chief and Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin both going for the divisional chief posts.

Azmin, ( left ) who is leading the deputy president race with the most number of nominations, is expected to cruise through the division polls to defeat veteran member Bakar Ninggal.

The Gombak MP's running mate, Batu Caves assemblyperson Amirudin Shari, is also expected to beat contender Jamaludin Karim for the deputy division chairperson spot on Sunday.

Competition in Ampang on the same day is also not believed to be a stiff one, despite Zuraida having to tangle with three others.

Nevertheless the division remains one to look out for following the defeats of elected representatives of the people last weekend, like Teluk Kemang MP Kamarul Baharain Abas.

azlan Kamarul's statement that he is willing to resign as parliamentarian following his result raises questions about the ramifications of this internal election.

The such questions are bound to rise if Nik Nazmi, who is also Seri Setia assemblyperson is whipped.

Another parliamentarian battling it out at division level is Selayang MP Williang Leong who is vying for the chief division post in the same area.

Padang Serai MP N Gobalakrishnan is also seeking similar office in the Padang Serai, Kedah against two others on Sunday.

Other interesting contests include Hulu Selangor and Sabak Bernam.

Leadership council member and PKR veteran Khalid Jaafar and newly-appointed Selangor communications officer Badrol Amin Baharon are aiming for the top posts in the respective divisions.
