KUALA LUMPUR: Setiawangsa Member of Parliament Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has confirmed that he will not be defending his post as Youth head in the PKR elections next month.
Nik Nazmi, 36, said the party constitution did not permit him to defend the post as he was past 35.
“I am too old, not like in other parties which would allow it. There are no exceptions in PKR. So if you are above 35 years of age, you cannot contest in the Youth wing.
“So, I will look at what other options I have. In fact, I have discussed with some friends within and outside the party about what action I should take,” he told reporters at the lobby of the Parliament building yesterday.
The nomination process for the PKR elections is expected to be held between July 27 to 29, and voting at the end of August.
