PKR Youth deputy chief Chiew Choon Man said the move is particularly relevant following the implementation of Undi18 and automatic voter registration.
It would also give a new generation the opportunity to prove their leadership capabilities while bringing fresh perspectives to address current challenges, he said.
Chiew described PH’s decision to place its trust in young candidates as a bold move that should be welcomed, noting that many prominent national leaders had also embarked on their leadership journeys at a young age.
