00:00P.K.R. President Anwar Ibrahim has dismissed allegations of nepotism following his daughter Nurul Iza's election as deputy president,
00:10pointing out that her victory reflects the party's internal democratic process.
00:15Anwar recounted the party's early struggles, highlighting that during his imprisonment in 1998,
00:21his wife Dr. Wan Aziza Wan Ismail took over the party's leadership without any claims of it being nepotism.
00:29Orang mangkitlah, oh ini isteri, anak, yelah. Masih kita bertempur dulu.
00:35Mana ada kongres? Mana ada perbincangan panjang? Siapa yang nak ambil, nak pegang obor?
00:46Jadi saya serahkan begitu saja. Saya masuk penjara. Ada dana? Tak ada. Jenterang? Tak ada.
00:55Masa itu tak bertimbol keluarga dan nepotism.
01:01He also expressed gratitude to Wan Aziza for leading the party through a difficult period.
01:07Anwar added that while he had chosen Wan Aziza to lead the party during his incarceration,
01:12Nurul Iza's rise came through party elections, reflecting the will of the members.
01:18At the party's central leadership polls yesterday, Nurul Iza was elected as the new PKR deputy president
01:24after she garnered 9,803 votes to defeat the incumbent Rafizi Rumley, who obtained only 3,866 votes.
