Was there any such offer, Anwar asks on Azmin rejoining PKR

PKR president says he was not informed of any offer made to his former deputy.

Was there any such offer, Anwar asks on Azmin rejoining PKR

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim has been asked about claims that his former deputy Azmin Ali has been approached to rejoin the party. In response to reporters after an event, Anwar stated he was unaware of any such offer. When pressed on whether anyone approached him, Anwar reiterated he was not informed. Azmin Ali, currently serving as PKR's secretary-general, had previously been sacked from the party in 2020 following the Sheraton Move incident that caused the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government.

Former PKR vice-presidents Tian Chua and Dr Xavier Jayakumar have confirmed their return to the party, raising speculation of more former leaders joining. Despite these developments, Anwar has called for former leaders and activists to rejoin PKR at its recent congress, while the prime minister has ruled out returning to the party.
