KUALA LUMPUR: Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad will not be defending his post as PKR Youth Chief in the party’s upcoming polls.
“I am too old and unlike some other parties, there are restrictions in PKR.
“So when you're 35-years-old and more, you can no longer contest in the youth wing,” the Setiawangsa Member of Parliament told reporters at the Parliament lobby.
Nik Nazmi however said that he has yet to make a decision on whether he would be contesting any other positions.
“I will be exploring my options. I have started discussions with friends within and outside the wing to decide the next course of action,” he added.
On the existence of separate camps in PKR with parties throwing their weight behind different leaders, Nik Nazmi said it was all part of a “democratic process”.
