BUKIT MERTAJAM – PKR Youth has mobilised its machinery for the upcoming elections in six states, with its level of preparedness having reached more than 60%.
Its chief, Adam Adli Abd Halim, said PKR Youth also has no problem working with its youth wing counterparts in Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties such as Umno, MCA, and MIC.
“Actually, PKR Youth has been making preparations for the state elections for the past two months and we have conducted meetings involving (representatives from) all six states.
“In the meetings, we identified the needs for the state elections and now is the time for PKR Youth to implement them,” he told reporters after opening the Penang PKR Youth office and launching the wing’s election machinery in the state here last night.
Meanwhile, Adam Adli said PKR Youth aims to have 30% of its members selected as candidates for the state elections.
However, he said the wing does not want to put pressure on the party leadership with regard to the selection of candidates.
“Our machinery always supports whoever is selected to be the candidate… but we must produce winnable candidates, that’s the important thing, and so far we haven’t discussed it yet,” he said.
On the cooperation with the youth wings of other parties under the unity government, he said the matter is still being discussed. – Bernama, April 17, 2023
