The PKR election in May is important as it is the first time the party will choose a new leadership while its president, Anwar Ibrahim, is serving as prime minister.

Its international bureau chairperson, Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin said as the core of the Madani government, PKR’s party election will likely feature leadership capable of strengthening the government administration, and be an early platform for the party to face the 16th general election, which must be held by 2027.
