00:00PKR Deputy President Rafi Z. Ramli claims that its political bureau had initially agreed not to hold party elections this year.

00:10He said the decision was based on past experience where party elections triggered fierce contests for top posts, throwing the party into disarray.

00:19He said the plan was to hold party elections after the next general election, with a second term secured for party president Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister.

00:29However, the decision was reversed on the grounds that party elections were needed to bring in new talent, such as Ramanan Ramakrishnan and Kamil Abdul Munim.

00:41Rafi Z also said party leaders had initially wanted to focus on the people's needs and governance instead of party elections.

00:50Separately, Rafi Z's rival Nuru Iza Anwar said she is wild to shake up the framework of negotiations with PKR's allies if she is elected the party's next deputy president.

01:03She said PKR must not be relegated to being just a minor player in Pakatan Harapan or the unity government.
