PKR terima kembali 3 bekas Ahli Parlimen

Majlis Pimpinan Pusat dilapor meluluskan rayuan Edmund Santhara Kumar, Kamarudin Jaffar, dan Steven Choong.

PKR terima kembali 3 bekas Ahli Parlimen

PKR has accepted the reinstatement of three former MPs – Edmund Santhara Kumar, Kamarudin Jaffar, and Steven Choong – according to Malaysiakini. These individuals joined the ranks of 11 other former PKR MPs who left the party following the Sheraton Steps in 2020, following the downfall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government. Both Santhara and Kamarudin later joined Bersatu, while Choong left PKR in February 2021, along with Julau Larry Sng, after expressing support for the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.

The confirmation of their return to PKR does not alter the party's stance in view of the pre-2018 PR election affidavits. The acceptance of their reinstatement, however, comes with a warning that any disputes related to this matter will be discussed between the party's treasurer, chairman, and president. Other former MPs who returned to PKR include four others, following Dr Xavier Jayakumar's confirmation earlier this month that he had rejoined the party.
