In this episode of Sinar Daily’s Top News Podcast, we sit down with Muda Election Director Zaim Zulkifli to dissect the movement’s roadmap as they navigate their first-ever party polls and look ahead to the 16th General Election (GE16).

The conversation delves into a significant turning point for the party: Muar MP Syed Saddiq’s decision to sit out the party election. 

Citing his ongoing legal journey, the former president previously emphasised a principle-driven departure to ensure the movement remains focused and unified. 

"I will not seek any position until my name is fully cleared," he said, prioritising party integrity over personal ambition.

Zaim provided exclusive insights into the democratic process currently underway. With 31 candidates vying for 25 spots on the Central Executive Committee (JKEP), the stakes are high.

From acting president Amira Aisya to secretary-general Ainie Haziqah, the new leadership will be tasked with defining Muda-driven policies that resonate with the rakyat.

"This election is proof of our commitment to transparent democracy," Zaim said, outlining how the delegates’ choices will eventually shape the party’s top brass.

Key highlights include:

* Syed Saddiq’s step back: Leadership vs. Legal battles.

* The 2025 Party Polls: Ensuring integrity and transparency.
