Hulu Rajang division chief Abun Sui Anyit, who is a senator, is among 12 leaders vying for the four vice-president’s posts. He wants to represent the voice of Borneo as well as the Dayak community.
He hopes that delegates will give him their support when they cast their ballots come May 23, vowing to listen and represent the voice of the grassroots.
“Together, we can create history (by electing) a Borneo representative (as vice-president) in this national party, which represents various races and religions,” he said, according to The Borneo Post.
Abun, currently a central leadership council member, also stated support for Nurul Izzah Anwar in her challenge for the deputy president’s post, currently held by Rafizi Ramli.
Abun said both Nurul Izzah and Rafizi were key figures for PKR, and that he would have liked to have two posts of deputy president if that were possible.
“However, the PKR constitution provides for only one deputy president’s post. Like it or not, I had to make the rather difficult decision of choosing between the two. I hope that whatever the result, both of them would still be given important roles to lead the party to a more glorious direction,” he added.
Besides Abun, the 12 contestants for the PKR vice-presidencies include the four incumbents, federal ministers Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and Chang Lih Kang as well as menteris besar Amirudin Shari and Aminuddin Harun. - FMT
