Dear friends,
I shall continue running for the Vice Presidency of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) in spite of the calls and allegations of fraud that led to the pullout of Deputy Presidential contender Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.
Let me state categorically that I believe in the collective wisdom of our members who, with their democratic right to vote, will ultimately decide the future direction of this party. As such, I believe it is my duty and responsibility to the party members who nominated me, as well as to non-party members who have invested their time, confidence and trust in our party, to continue this race.
We have thus far been assured that the JPP is reviewing the election process and results. I am certain that the JPP will take the necessary actions to rectify any allegations of fraud.
When I have won the trust and mandate of party members to be one of the four elected Vice Presidents, I will embolden my efforts at realizing the Politics of Hope and Liberation and strengthen this party to live up to the principles and ideals of democracy and justice that Malaysia yearns for.
Malaysians, friends, members of PKR – the time has come for all of us to demand honest politics and live by the highest of standards. Truly, this will be the only way for us to build a better Malaysia.
Lastly, once these party elections are complete, let us close ranks, in unity. Let us continue working with our Pakatan allies in moving forward to fulfill the hopes and aspirations of all Malaysians. Let us move forward, for a better Malaysia.
