KUALA LUMPUR – PKR’s previously postponed 2020 national congress will be held virtually from 8am to 2pm on Sunday.

The party’s chief organising secretary, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who is also congress director, said all 2,000 delegates will participate in the event via Zoom.

The new date was decided by the party after referring to a statement issued by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) on June 9, he said in a statement today.

“RoS in its letter to PKR dated May 21 gave the party until June 30 to hold the congress.”

Nik Nazmi said the meet will focus on issues relating to the economy, health and restoration of democracy.

On June 5, he was reported as saying the party received a letter from the National Security Council and a verbal notification from RoS the day before, asking that the congress be postponed.

The women’s and youth wings held their meetings online on June 4 and 5, respectively. – Bernama, June 16, 2021
