PKR's Process for Appointing New State Chiefs Amidst Resignations

PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has indicated that if Nurul Izzah Anwar and Hassan Abdul Karim remain firm in their decisions to reject appointments as Penang and Johor PKR chiefs respectively, party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will consult state leaders before making any new announcements. As of December 20, Saifuddin had not received formal resignation letters from either Nurul Izzah or Hassan.
Hope for Reconsideration of Resignations

Saifuddin expressed a hope that Nurul Izzah would reconsider her decision to relinquish her post as Penang PKR chief, noting the strong support she has from the 13 Penang PKR branches for that role. He mentioned that it would be preferable if she accepted the position, but acknowledged her current stance.
Absence of Formal Resignation Letters

Despite public announcements, Saifuddin stated that he had not yet received any formal written resignations, referred to as "black or white," from either Nurul Izzah Anwar or Hassan Abdul Karim. This suggests that the resignations are not yet officially processed within the party's administrative framework.
Consultation with State Leaders

In the event that both Nurul Izzah and Hassan proceed with rejecting their respective state chief appointments, Saifuddin anticipates that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will engage in consultations. This process would involve leaders from both Penang and Johor to deliberate on the path forward before any new appointments are made public.
Nurul Izzah and Hassan's Stated Reasons

Nurul Izzah had announced on December 17 her relinquishment of the Penang chief position, a PKR vice-presidency, and federal government appointments, citing rapid political changes and a need to "do the right thing." Hassan Abdul Karim, the Pasir Gudang MP, subsequently announced his stepping down as Johor PKR chief, expressing a desire for a more transparent system for appointing state chiefs to ensure their legitimacy is not questioned.
