Kelantan PKR says it will continue to back Anwar

PETALING JAYA: Kelantan PKR today pledged that all 14 divisional chiefs in the state, along with their committee members, will continue to back party president Anwar Ibrahim and will not defect to Parti Bersama Malaysia.

In a statement, the state chapter’s secretary Rahim Hasan said to his knowledge, no division leaders or committee members had joined Bersama, which was recently taken over by former PKR leaders Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

“The party (Bersama) will not test our loyalty to PKR,” he said.

Rahim also said Kelantan PKR is now focusing on strengthening party machinery at all levels in preparation for the next general election.

His statement comes amid a wave of resignations by grassroots leaders and members who subsequently joined Bersama.

On Saturday, it was reported that nearly 2,000 PKR members in Johor had left the party to join Bersama’s state chapter, which has set up a pro-tem committee comprising former PKR state and division leaders, including former Tiram assemblyman S Gopalakrishnan.

Additionally, 19 committee members from Pandan PKR Youth, including the wing’s deputy chief Haqimi Zamri, resigned and joined Rafizi’s party.
