Anwar Ibrahim says the party will not delay the elections as it could lead to more internal squabbles.PORT DICKSON: PKR president-elect Anwar Ibrahim said he would not interfere in matters related to the ongoing party polls and will leave it to its election committee (JPP) to deal with it
The Port Dickson MP said many people had wanted him to step in but the party had already made the decision that all matters relating to the party’s election would be handled by the JPP
“Several quarters have urged me to interfere but I cannot. This is not understood even by the media
“Apart from ensuring the election is free from fraud and threats, I also told JPP to appoint people who are independent and clean,” he said after opening the Port Dickson Long Yi Cup Wushu Championship here today
Anwar said even though he received information on several attempts to disrupt the voting process with faulty tablets, cyber attacks and so on, there was nothing he could do as they were all under the purview of JPP
“I asked candidates to accept the results in good faith. If there are cases of fraud, damaged tablets, threats, report them to the police, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission or the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission
Anwar, who won the president’s post uncontested, also said the party will not delay the elections as it could lead to more internal squabbles
When asked on Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s Cabinet post as she was no longer holding any position in PKR, Anwar said it was not an issue
“The matter does not arise as the earlier decision was that the prime minister would be Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the deputy prime minister would be Azizah. This is a decision made by Pakatan Harapan.”Today, seven PKR divisions which encountered problems during the party election earlier held fresh polls

These areas were Kuala Selangor (Selangor), Jelebu (Negeri Sembilan), Alor Gajah, Masjid Tanah, Tangga Batu, Kota Melaka and Jasin (Melaka). - FMT
