Newly elected PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar is committed to focusing on developing strategies to strengthen the party together with the new leadership team.

Speaking to reporters last night following the announcement of her new role, Nurul Izzah said she also plans to carry out internal reforms while preparing for the upcoming general election.

She said she would share the plans after the conclusion of the PKR national congress.

“I ask for your prayers as my husband and I will be departing for Mecca to perform the haj soon,” she said.

Nurul Izzah garnered 9,803 votes, defeating incumbent Rafizi Ramli, in yesterday’s party election.

The runup to yesterday’s election saw heated exchanges between both contenders, ultimately resulting in a win for Nurul Izzah.
