Xavier Jayakumar sahkan kembali ke PKR
Bekas naib presiden PKR itu dan veteran parti Tian Chua juga dilaporkan kembali ke parti itu susulan gesaan Presiden Anwar Ibrahim.
Former PKR deputy president Dr Xavier Jayakumar has confirmed his return to the party, following appeals from PKR President Anwar Ibrahim for veterans to reunite with the organization. When asked to confirm his return to PKR, Xavier simply replied, "Yes." On Saturday, Anwar extended apologies to the veteran during his opening speech at the PKR National Congress and urged them to return to the party's fold to continue the reformist struggle.
Xavier left PKR in 2021, when the party was in opposition, to support then-Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin as a free Member of Parliament. In 2022, he joined the BN-affiliated Party of Malaysia (PBM) but refused to disclose the reason for his decision. Meanwhile, PKR news portal Suara Keadilan reported that former deputy president Tian Chua had also been accepted to return to the party.
The decision was well-received by party leaders and members, especially those involved in the Reformasi movement. Tian Chua was expelled from PKR after the 2022 General Election (PRU15) for contesting as an independent candidate for the Batu parliamentary seat.
