PORT DICKSON – Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari has been elected as PAS Youth chief for the 2021-2023 term, replacing Khairil Nizam Khiruddin who did not defend the post.
In the election held during the 62nd PAS Youth Muktamar (general assembly) at a hotel here, Ahmad Fadhli won after obtaining 508 votes – defeating Kubu Gajah assemblyman Khalil Yahya who garnered 128 votes.
The deputy Youth chief position was won by the Kedah menteri besar’s political secretary, Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamuddin, while former Selangor PAS Youth chief Hanafi Zulkafli is the wing’s new vice-chief.
A total of 636 delegates cast their ballots – in the election for the new Dewan Pemuda PAS Malaysia (DPPM) leadership – for the position of Youth chief, deputy Youth chief, vice-Youth chief, and 12 committee members.
Meanwhile, Fadhli – who was previously PAS’ deputy Youth chief – thanked all delegates who have placed their trust and confidence in the new DPPM leadership line-up to lead the party’s Youth wing, especially in facing the 15th general election (GE15).
He said the party is determined to continue strengthening Muafakat Nasional and defend Perikatan Nasional up to the grassroots to promote to the people –and especially new voters – that both are the best options in the upcoming GE15.
Asked about the candidates contesting in GE15, Fadhli said PAS Youth wants 50% of the candidates to come from the Youth and Women wings. – Bernama, October 31, 2021
