Pahang PKR chief's mission: Retake Indera Mahkota for party

Pahang PKR state leadership council chairperson Ahmad Farhan Fauzi says he has been entrusted by the party’s president, Anwar Ibrahim, to reclaim the Indera Mahkota parliamentary seat in the 16th general election (GE16).

Farhan, who is also the political secretary to the prime minister, said the entrustment was a major responsibility that must be shouldered together.

“Without the cooperation of all branch members, it would be difficult for us to move forward,” he said when speaking at the Indera Mahkota PKR division annual general meeting in Kuantan.

Meanwhile, Farhan, who is also the Indera Mahkota division chief, said PKR membership in the area had now reached 6,666, with a target of 10,000 members before the PKR national congress begins.

He said the party remained committed to recapturing the parliamentary seat, based on PKR’s record of victories in the constituency in 2008, 2013, and 2018, which would help the party remain in power in GE16.

In GE15, Saifuddin Abdullah defended the Indera Mahkota parliamentary seat under the Bersatu banner with a majority of 3,899 votes, defeating challengers from Pakatan Harapan, BN, and Pejuang.

Saifuddin previously won the seat representing PKR in 2018.

Meanwhile, Farhan issued a warning to parties attempting to tarnish PKR’s image, including those from within its own ranks.

“Attacking the PKR president is like attacking all of us, and we will oppose any efforts that could divide the party,” he said.
