The PKR Ketua Cabang elections have concluded with significant outcomes, but none more impressive than the victory of Dr. Sathia Prakash in Hulu Selangor. Garnering 3,016 votes out of 5,538 registered voters, Dr. Sathia didn’t just win he commanded a powerful mandate from his grassroots supporters.
This landslide victory is a clear reflection of Dr. Sathia’s unwavering commitment to the people of Hulu Selangor. Since contesting as a parliamentary candidate in the last general election, he has remained active on the ground, engaging consistently with the community, addressing local issues, and staying connected with party members. His efforts have now borne fruit, with his branch members placing their full trust in his leadership.
Dr. Sathia’s win wasn’t just about numbers it was about credibility, hard work, and grassroots trust. At a time when voters are becoming more discerning, his ability to rally support reflects his maturity as a leader and the strength of his bond with the people. His leadership style grounded, people-centric, and results-driven—is exactly what PKR needs as it looks to nurture new leaders for the national stage.
In contrast, in Sungai Buloh, Deputy Minister R. Ramanan was returned unopposed as Ketua Cabang a reflection of his established role and position. While his uncontested win ensures continuity, Dr. Sathia’s convincing and competitive victory speaks volumes about his potential and relevance among the party’s emerging generation of leaders.
Dr. Sathia is not just a local leader; he’s a rising national asset. His strong mandate in Hulu Selangor suggests he is well prepared for bigger responsibilities, and the time has come for the party to provide him with a broader platform to contribute. As PKR looks to the future, empowering leaders like Dr. Sathia at the national level possibly as Vice President will only strengthen the party’s foundation and direction.
With the trust of Hulu Selangor firmly behind him, Dr. Sathia is poised to take on greater roles, and his journey is one that the party and the nation, should watch closely
