Nurul Izzah comments on resignation; Should DAP have ‘exit clause’ if it remains in govt?

KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Nurul Izzah Anwar, commenting on her decision to step down from PKR’s number two post, referred to herself as the outgoing deputy president and said she could not “please everyone”.She noted that some viewed her defeat in Permatang Pauh - long regarded as her family’s stronghold - in the 15th general election as unacceptable, while others were unhappy with her victory over incumbent Rafizi Ramli in last year’s PKR polls.“And for others, it was just unacceptable that I am leaving (the deputy presidency) in 2026," she added.Ramkarpal Singh has urged DAP to make clear to delegates at its annual congress this Sunday that they can still call for the party to leave the government if compelling reasons arise in the future.The DAP deputy secretary-general said this must be emphasised to avoid giving the impression that a vote to remain in government means the party would stay on even when doing so is detrimental to its interests.He added that, whether or not it is labelled an “exit clause”, such an option would be in the party’s best interests.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
