PETALING JAYA: PKR chief organising secretary Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has announced that he is aiming for a vice-presidency at the party's elections in May.

He said his bid for the post was not merely to gain a political position.

"We want to provide a convincing (proposition) to our members so we can once again win the hearts of voters in the 15th General Election," he said in a YouTube live video on Tuesday (March 29) evening.

The former Youth chief also endorsed former Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli as the next deputy president.

"I'm confident that this is the best combination – PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Rafizi - as well as (team members) made up of other races from across the country.

"With this combination, we can prove that PKR is a party that isn't just relevant now, but also for the future," he said.

Nik Nazmi also touched on the unprecedented victory of Pakatan Harapan in the 14th General Election.

However, he acknowledged that there was disappointment among PKR leaders following the recent slew of negative events, such as the "Sheraton Move" in February 2020 and PKR's recent defeats in subsequent state elections namely Sabah, Melaka, Sarawak and Johor.

"Therefore, we must strengthen the party to take on GE15," he added.
