Bersama suspends Nik Nazmi for 3 months

Bersama co-leader Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has been suspended from all official party activities for three months, starting October 20 and ending January 19, 2027. The suspension was announced after the party learned of his involvement in a suspected khalwat case, which he admitted to in a public statement. The decision was made following his acknowledgement of his role in the case, which occurred in Petaling Jaya on Thursday when he was detained by the Selangor Islamic religious department.

Bersama emphasized that any issue concerning the party's leadership and members must be handled appropriately to maintain the party's integrity, credibility, and public confidence. They believe the suspension is necessary and reasonable, despite acknowledging Nik Nazmi's contributions to the party since its relaunch in May. Nik Nazmi expressed regret for his actions, apologizing to his wife, families, and others affected by the incident. He stated that he would accept whatever decision the party makes regarding his suspension.
