PETALING JAYA: Former Umno leader Shahril Hamdan has raised the possibility of a fresh contest for the PKR deputy presidency between the incumbent, Rafizi Ramli, and former party secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
Shahril questioned whether Saifuddin would challenge his Cabinet colleague for the post at PKR’s upcoming central leadership elections, especially after several bigwigs linked to Rafizi were defeated in the divisional polls last month.
“Many of those figures who suffered major defeats at the divisional level are somewhat aligned with Rafizi,” he said in the latest episode of Keluar Sekejap, which he co-hosts with Khairy Jamaluddin.
