KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 — Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad are set to announce their new ‘political direction’ at a public event in Petaling Jaya this Sunday.
According to a press statement by Rafizi, the event will be held at the PJ Performing Arts Centre, One Utama E, Bandar Utama, from 2pm to 5pm on May 17.
“The past year has given both of us the space to consider various views, considerations and factors in deciding our next political direction,” he said.
“I invite Malaysians from across the country and from all backgrounds who wish to strengthen the progressive political movement to attend this event together,” he added added.
Rafizi and Nik Nazmi resigned from the Cabinet in May last year after losing in the PKR party elections, with Rafizi failing to defend the deputy presidency and Nik Nazmi losing his bid to retain a vice-presidency.
Nik Nazmi later said they would not betray PKR despite stepping down from their government posts.
Rafizi had argued that Cabinet members should also hold party leadership positions to ensure they carried the mandate of the party grassroots.
