[UPDATED] Nurul Izzah: My struggle will continue through civil society
AYER KEROH: PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar said she would continue her political struggle through civil society rather than directly through the party as she prepares to step away from its leadership.
AYER KEROH: PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar has revealed her plans to continue her political fight through civil society instead of directly through the party. Reflecting on the reactions to her defeat in the 2022 General Election (GE15) and her party's win in 2025, Nurul Izzah emphasized that not everyone can be pleased, but one must stay true to oneself.
At the PKR Women's National Congress 2026, she stated she would pursue her struggle through civil society rather than the party. PKR Women's Chief Fadhlina Sidek and PKR Youth Chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim attended the event. The PKR Central Leadership Council had previously rejected Nurul Izzah's attempt to resign, but only after she requested time to handle personal matters and finish her PhD studies.
Nurul Izzah urged party leaders to uphold the spirit of reform in all their decisions and actions, especially while in power, reminding them to ask if they are serving the country or just themselves when wielding power.
