Fuziah says PKR must rebuild after electoral setbacks

PKR Secretary-General Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh addressed the 2026 PKR national congress, acknowledging the party's recent electoral setbacks and changes in political alliances. She stated that the party was entering the congress wounded and hurt, noting that morale was not at its peak after a challenging period. Fuziah highlighted several elections that had eroded PKR's political ground, particularly in areas it once dominated.

She also mentioned that former allies had chosen paths the party could not anticipate, causing further hurt. Despite the setbacks, Fuziah urged members not to engage in finger-pointing or seek retaliation. Instead, she called for honest examination of the party's weaknesses, learning from past failures, and a focus on rebuilding strength.

Fuziah reminded delegates of PKR's resilience, citing the 2004 general election when the party lost nearly all its parliamentary seats and when its president was in prison. She emphasized that the party had recovered, vowing to continue the struggle and win in the end.
