KUALA LUMPUR: Things got a little heated among some division party members in Kedah, but apart from that the PKR elections 2022 that entered its second day today went on smoothly.
Polling for the central leadership, division and wings posts in Kedah and Johor kicked off at 9 am and ended at 5 pm.

"Except for some verbal arguments, all went well. There were technical problems that caused some delay in the polling process but they were rectified soon enough," he said when contacted by Bernama here today.
He said voting in 14 divisions went smoothly, however, in one branch, Padang Serai, voting was delayed to noon due to dissatisfaction over several matters.
In JOHOR, state PKR deputy chairman Jimmy Puah Wee Tse said the voting process went smoothly without any issues.
He said a total of 57,162 PKR members were eligible to vote in-person at all 26 divsions, namely Tebrau, Kulai, Iskandar Puteri, Batu Pahat, Ledang, Sekijang, Simpang Renggam, Segamat, Johor Bahru, Pasir Gudang, Muar, Pulai, Pagoh, Labis, Pontian, Parit Sulong, Kluang, Sembrong, Bakri, Sri Gading, Kota Tinggi, Pengerang, Ayer Hitam, Tenggara, Mersing and Tanjong Piai.
