Gerakan must shed the perception that it is subservient to Umno if it wants to do well in the 14th General Election (GE14). Lua Yik Hor , a Gerakan delegate from Kuala Terengganu , said such perception had been detrimental to the party.
The generally accepted view that Gerakan is a yes-man to Umno had plunged the multi-racial party into a tumultuous time that saw the Chinese community switch their support to PH , he reasoned . PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar has hailed the decision of Nik Omar Nik Abdul Aziz , the
eldest son of the late PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz Nik Mat , to contest the coming polls on
a Pakatan Harapan (PH) ticket .
She said this was an important step in the pact’s push to win Putrajaya .
Nurul Izzah said Nik Omar’s switch from PAS to PH was a bold step .
PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail also hailed the Nik Omar factor as a bigdeal that would
improve PH’s chances of victory in Kelantan tremendously .
PKR was not formed to take care of the welfare of the rakyat.
Instead it was set up just for one man – Anwar.
It is understood that Azizah is not happy with the candidates list in Selangor proposed by Azmin.
It is understood that PKR is in crisis as Azizah wants its vice president Tian Chua to let go off his Batu parliamentary seat and contest somewhere else.
Azizah wants Tian Chua to let go of his seat and make way for a younger candidate.
Naturally Tian Chua is not satisfied as he has been incumbent in Batu for a long time.

Timbalan Presiden Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Mohamed Azmin Ali mencabar kepimpinan UMNO untuk menurunkan calon mereka berentap dalam Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) N25 DUN Kajang yang akan datang.
" Kita mencabar UMNO menurunkan calon mereka termasuk juga Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak supaya turun bertanding di Kajang ini . Mereka tak perlu menurunkan calon-calon daripada MCA, MIC atau Gerakan tetapi calon-calon UMNO yang kononnya dikatakan berwibawa dan menjadi pejuang untuk segala hal dan inilah tempatnya jika mereka berani , " kata Azmin .
Beliau yang juga Pengerusi Perhubungan PKR Selangor menyatakan bahawa tindakan Anwar untuk bertanding di Kajang bukanlah kerana Ketua Umum PKR itu begitu berkehendakkan jawatan ADUN tetapi ianya dilakukan semata-mata untuk membuat satu perubahan besar kepada Kajang dan penduduk Selangor amnya.
" Bukan Datuk Seri Anwar kemaruk sangat nak jadi ADUN tetapi perubahan besar yang hendak kami lakukan akan bermula dari sini di Kajang sebelum perlahan-lahan menginjak ke peringkat negeri Selangor dan kemudiannya ke Putrajaya dan insyallah , dalam masa tiga tahun lagi Putrajaya bakal kita duduki , " katanya ketika berucap ketika Majlis Taklimat Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) N25 Kajang di Dewan Orang Ramai , Sungai Sekamat disini.
