  "account": "Presiden Parti Keadilan Rakyat, Anwar Ibrahim, has expressed his unawareness of the accusations against former PKR Deputy President Mohamed Azmin Ali of being re-invited to join the party. Speaking at the National Innovation and Commercialisation Expo (NICE) 2026 at KLCC, Anwar stated he was not informed of any wrongdoing against the former leader. \"Did someone come to invite? Was there an accusation? I was not informed,\" he said to reporters.\n\nWhen asked about Azmin's refusal to rejoin PKR despite being the Deputy Chief Minister of Bersatu, Anwar claimed that Bersatu is currently capable of becoming a platform to ensure the continuity of his political career. The Deputy Minister of Hulu Kelang acknowledged that Bersatu faces numerous challenges but hinted that the time for change will come.\n\nIn his opening speech at the PKR Congress on August 15th, Anwar apologized to the party and urged Malaysians to return to PKR. Prior to this, former ADUNs Kamarudin Jaffar and Mansor Othman were reported to be considering returning to PKR. Azmin, Kamarudin and Mansor are among the 11 PKR MPs who left the party in February 2020 before joining Bersatu. On February 24th, 2020, Azmin was expelled from PKR for making open betrayals.",
