Azmin rules out PKR return, vows to stay with Bersatu
KUALA LUMPUR: Former PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, who is now with Bersatu, will not return to his former party despite an open invitation to past members.
Former Deputy President of the opposition party PKR, Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, has clarified his political allegiance as he remains a loyal member of Bersatu. Azmin, who also serves as the Secretary-General of Bersatu, expressed his unwavering confidence in his current party's future potential. Despite Bersatu facing its own challenges, the Hulu Kelang assemblyman assured that the party's time will come, urging continued dedication.
Azmin's firm stance against returning to PKR, despite an open invitation, was reiterated in an interview with Berita Harian. The PKR President, Anwar Ibrahim, had recently called for former party leaders and activists to return to PKR during his presidential address at the PKR Annual Congress. Some of the mentioned names include Kamarudin Jaffar, Mansor Othman, and Dr Xavier Jayakumar. It is worth noting that Dr Jayakumar had indeed rejoined the party.
Azmin's departure from PKR was not without controversy. He was officially dismissed from the party on February 24, 2020, following a Central Leadership Council meeting. The decision was announced by PKR Secretary-General, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
