Rafizi gambling with political future in bid to change PKR
The stage is set for Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) to morph into a political party with a clear cut political aspiration other than fulfilling party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s goal to be prime minister.
(MMO) – That plan has been derailed many times and the current situation the party finds itself in seems to make that particular goal harder to reach.
Rafizi Ramli’s attempt to replace Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as party secretary-general this weekend is considered a bold move to replace the old guards, purportedly preparing a platform for young voters and politicians to take over the party.
PKR has been stagnant the past two years since the Sheraton Move. The party’s performance in the past few state elections has been abysmal. The party has lost its attractiveness, it has nothing new to offer.
