KUALA LUMPUR: With the votes having been tallied in six states so far, only three votes separate Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and Rafizi Ramli in the fight for the PKR deputy president’s post.
Azmin has so far garnered 19,583 votes to Rafizi’s 19,580, should the “doubtful votes” be counted.
“Doubtful votes” are ballots cast by PKR members whose eligibility to vote could not at the time of voting be verified.
The ballots are counted until such a time as the party’s election committee is able to verify the eligibility of the voter.
Rafizi has so far taken Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Kuala Lumpur, while Azmin won in Penang and Johor.
For the four seats for vice-president which are to be voted in, Nurul Izzah Anwar has established a health lead with 23,451 votes. Trailing her is Zuraida Kamaruddin with 17,895.
Currently in line for the other two seats are Tian Chua (13,963) and Shamsul Iskandar (13,605).
For the post of Youth chief, Dr Afifi Bahardin currently has a relatively slim lead, taking 4,720 votes to Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir’s 4,667. Mohd Najwan Halimi is a distant third with 1,108 votes.
The deputy Youth chief’s post, however, has seen Hilman Idham pull away with 5,963 votes garnered to Raymond Ahuar’s 2,764 and Naqiuddin Nazrin’s 1,099.
Current PKR vice-president Fuziah Salleh, meanwhile, is trailing Haniza Mohamed Talha in the race for the Wanita chief’s post. The former has 5,930 votes to the latter’s 7,352.
Meanwhile, Daroyah Alwi has taken a healthy lead over Rodziah Ismail for the deputy Wanita chief’s post, garnering 7,344 votes to the latter’s 5,153. © New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd
