Anwar says he accepts Nurul Izzah's decision to quit as PKR deputy president
The PKR president says his daughter remains active in the party despite pursuing commitments outside it, referring to her decision to continue her studies.
PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said he accepts Nurul Izzah Anwar's decision to relinquish the party's deputy presidency, stressing that she remains active in PKR.
Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman, was referring to her decision to pursue further studies as a commitment outside the party.
"She (Izzah) has programmes outside, it's fine, we can accept that.
"But she is still active in the party," he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian in Alor Gajah. (Translated from Malay)
A day earlier, Nurul Izzah said she would continue to support the party's struggle under Anwar's leadership despite giving up the number two post in PKR.
She also expressed confidence in Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as acting deputy president and Amirudin Shari as election director to carry out their responsibilities wisely and diligently.
Nurul Izzah was elected PKR deputy president in May last year after defeating the incumbent, Rafizi Ramli, in the party polls.
Following that result, Rafizi left the party together with former vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad to launch Bersama.
