Wan Azizah admits setbacks in PKR
KUALA LUMPUR: PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has acknowledged that the party has had setbacks since the March 2008 general election.
“Political parties are complex organisms and political coalitions are neither crystallised overnight nor even in a fortnight.
“The frustrations which have been expressed by some colleagues within the party and by some supporters are valid and I remain open to engaging all parties on the principle of mutual respect, understanding and an unrelenting commitment to the principles of justice and fairness,” she said in a statement on Thursday.
Wan Azizah’s statement follows the resignation of two of Sabah’s top PKR leaders from their party posts - Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan has quit as a PKR vice-president and member of the party’s supreme council and its political bureau while PKR Kota Kinabalu division chief Christina Liew quit as a supreme council member.
Wan Azizah also acknowledged that recent changes in the PKR leadership had caused confusion and consternation among some members.
“Our task remains a work in progress and the announcements made this week are based on consensus and consultation within the party to work towards a better future,” she said. - Bernama
