PKR POLLS | MIC deputy president SK Devamany today offered to teach PKR how to conduct a smooth party election.

According to Devamany, this is because MIC has more experience conducting its internal polls.

"Although PKR is not a part of BN, I am saddened by what happened during its party election.

"I am ready to share our experience with PKR so the party can conduct its elections in a smoother way in the future," he told Malaysiakini.

Devamany was responding to reports that PKR was forced to suspend and postpone nine out of 15 division elections in Kedah earlier today following technical errors in its e-voting system.

Election committee secretary Ismail Yusoff told Malaysiakini that problems with the e-voting system had triggered "tensions" among members who came to cast their votes this morning.

Earlier, Devamany led the nominations process for MIC'S own internal polls at the party's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

According to Devamany, PKR could learn a lesson from MIC as the latter's nomination process today proceeded without any problems.

Among others, the post of MIC Youth chief was won uncontested by former deputy R Thinalan, replacing C Sivarraajh who has exceeded the age limit.
