00:01The narrative surrounding Nurul Iza Anwar's rise to PKR's No. 2 spot must be tempered
00:06to counter claims about her family's grip on the party, said an analyst.
00:12University Malaya's Awang Azman-Pawi said if Nurul Iza's camp fails to manage and explain
00:18the situation properly, she risks losing PKR's ideological diehards and younger supporters.
00:23He added, if not handled inclusively, this victory could also cause internal splits or
00:30dissatisfaction among other leaders, including Rafizi Romney's supporters weakening the party
00:36from within.
00:36Nurul Iza won by a landslide in a two-way fight with incumbent Rafizi for the PKR Deputy Presidency
00:44on Friday.
00:46According to the party election committee, she garnered a total of 9,803 votes or 71.7%
00:53while Rafizi obtained 3,866 votes.
00:58Awang Azman said Nurul Iza's win was not a personal victory, but a reflection of a trend
01:03within PKR which was trying to balance idealism and pragmatism of power.
01:09He said this is an opportunity for PKR to show that familial ties do not necessarily amount
01:14to nepotism, but can instead reflect a blend of tradition and modernity, as well as strategic
01:20unity.
