A leadership election is scheduled to be held by the People's Justice Party (PKR) in Malaysia from 14 March to 24 May 2025 to elect new leadership at the central and division levels. [1] [2]

Contents

This election will be the first since party president Anwar Ibrahim became Prime Minister and the second since PKR became a ruling party, after the 2018 PKR leadership election. Party chairman of the international bureau Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin revealed the possibility that the top two party positions, the presidency and deputy presidency may not be involved in this leadership election, similar to the 2023 United Malays National Organisation leadership election. [3]

Voting

The voting of this election is only opened to some delegates, instead of all party members. The number of delegates eligible to vote is expected to be more than 20,000. Each party division has 12 delegates. According to party vice president Chang Lih Kang, this was to save time and effort while maintaining democracy. [4]
