PKR veteran Tian Chua does not intend to defend his post as vice-president in the next party election.
When contacted, he confirmed that he would not be contesting in any post at the central level in the polls set for May.
"Yes. I have decided not to contest in this election.
"I made the decision after thinking about it at length. I have served in the central leadership since the formation of the party.
"I also believe that if I serve and contribute to the party, I will not necessarily occupy any high position," he added.
Tian Chua (above) is one of the founders of the PKR party.
He is also a former Batu MP since 2008 before being banned from contesting in 2018.
Need to reorganise
Meanwhile, Tian Chua thinks that this party election is very challenging.
“I think this election is a very challenging situation with the GE getting very close and also need to reorganise our work at the grassroots.
"For me, there is no need to hold a high position but I will stay with my party and try whatever I can to make sure that this party wins the next GE.
"We have very little time and I hope PKR members will realise that the general election is more important,” he added.
Meanwhile, FMT reported that while Tian Chua was not intending to contest the vice-president post, he could still try to run for an MP seat, possibly in Batu.
