JOHOR BAHRU: PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil, who secured a spot in the central leadership council at the party polls tonight, believes the election results would be accepted by members.
Fahmi, who secured the highest number of votes in the contest, said it was now time to close ranks.
He said candidates who lost still have a role to play, citing his own experience when he wasn’t elected as one of the four vice-presidents in 2022.
“Despite my defeat, I was appointed as the party’s information chief.
“This is the norm. The party will round up its ‘assets’ and those who wish to contribute will be given a post,” he told reporters here.
He also said the newly elected leaders will need to go to the ground and improve their ties with the grassroots to better prepare the party machinery for the next general election.
Separately, Subang MP Wong Chen, who was among the 104 eyeing a spot in the 20-seat council, was not surprised that he did not make the cut. He came in 30th in the polls.
“It was expected as I campaigned very little,” he said in a Facebook post.
However, he thanked his supporters who voted for him.
“I happily sink or swim with my chosen team.”
Wong was a running mate of Rafizi Ramli, who failed to retain his deputy president’s post after losing to Nurul Izzah Anwar.
