KOTA BHARU: The candidate for PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has won the PKR polls in Kelantan with 5,211 votes.
His opponent Datuk Seri Azmin Ali received 4,992 votes in the polls which took place today at 9am until 6pm at 14 branches state-wide.
Rafizi was said to have won in nine branches including Bachok, Pengkalan Chepa and Pasir Mas.
On his Facebook posting, he thanked his friends in Kelantan and Terengganu who had been campaigning and voting for him.
“I won in both states. I’m so touched by the obvious support from the branches. Based on the unofficial result so far, I’ve won seven out of eight branches in Terengganu and nine out of 14 in Kelantan.
“This will continue the trend in Pulau Pinang and Johor, which put me in the lead in terms of numbers of branches that have supported and voted for me, even though the difference for the overall votes was small,” he wrote.
About 28,000 members in four states voted and only 117 votes separated Rafizi and Azmin.
As of 10pm, there was no official result announced by Kelantan PKR.
