PETALING JAYA — PKR vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad is optimistic he will be able to defend his position in the 2025 PKR Elections to be held at the end of May.

Nik Nazmi, who is also the Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, expressed confidence despite losing the Setiawangsa division chief election in the recent divisional level election. He has been the Setiawangsa MP since 2018.

“I have previously announced that I will defend the (vice-president) position… God willing, we will stick to the decision. If there is a major announcement, I will inform you later,” he told reporters after an inspection of solar panels installed at IKEA Damansara, Bernama reports.

Nik Nazmi lost the PKR Setiawangsa division chief post to challenger Datuk Afdlin Shauki, who has only been with the party since 2021.

Nik Nazmi secured 563 votes while Afdlin obtained 631 votes.

His loss is one of the most high-profile upsets in the party election which has seen several include party leaders who hold deputy ministers’ posts or are MPs lose their bids. They include Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Adam Adli Abdul Halim who lost the Hang Tuah Jaya division deputy chief post and Deputy Minister of Unity K. Saraswathy who lost the Bukit Bintang division chief post.

Batu MP P. Prabakaran, Wangsa Maju MP Zahir Hassan, Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail and Sungai Siput MP S. Kesavan also lost in the fight in their respective divisions.

Nik Nazmi, who has said he plans to appeal the results of the Setiawangsa division election, said PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will chair a meeting of the central leadership council (MPP) tomorrow to discuss issues arising in the party election.

According to Bernama, among the matters to be discussed are the defeats of several party leaders who hold ministerial and deputy ministerial portfolios. – April 22, 2025
