00:06to counter claims about her family's grip on the party, said an analyst.

00:12University Malaya's Awang Azman-Pawi said if Nurul Iza's camp fails to manage and explain

00:18the situation properly, she risks losing PKR's ideological diehards and younger supporters.

00:23He added, if not handled inclusively, this victory could also cause internal splits or

00:30dissatisfaction among other leaders, including Rafizi Romney's supporters weakening the party

00:36from within.

00:36Nurul Iza won by a landslide in a two-way fight with incumbent Rafizi for the PKR Deputy Presidency

00:44on Friday.

00:46According to the party election committee, she garnered a total of 9,803 votes or 71.7%

00:53while Rafizi obtained 3,866 votes.

00:58Awang Azman said Nurul Iza's win was not a personal victory, but a reflection of a trend

01:03within PKR which was trying to balance idealism and pragmatism of power.

01:09He said this is an opportunity for PKR to show that familial ties do not necessarily amount

01:14to nepotism, but can instead reflect a blend of tradition and modernity, as well as strategic

01:20unity.
