Bersama suspends Nik Nazmi for three months over khalwat arrest
President says party takes matter seriously, decision is necessary and reasonable.
Parti Bersama Malaysia has suspended Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad from all party activities for a period of three months, effective October 20, 2026, according to a statement released on October 17. The decision comes after Nik Nazmi admitted to being involved in a close proximity case that recently garnered public attention. The party maintains that such issues involving the leadership and members must be addressed appropriately to preserve its integrity, credibility, and public confidence.
Nik Nazmi, who now leads Bersama, acknowledged the incident as a mistake but denied any improper conduct. The party described the decision as necessary and reasonable, while recognizing the former Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability minister's contributions and commitment to the party since its relaunch in May 2026.
