Azmin asks Zaid to reconsider new party plans and stay with PKR
SHAH ALAM - Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president Azmin Ali has called on former Federal Territory PKR chief Zaid Ibrahim to reconsider his plan to set up a new party if he is sacked from the party.
Azmin said he hoped the plan would not materalise because to his understanding, Zaid joined the PKR to be with the leaders and party members and contribute to the "reformasi" agenda, Bernama reported.
"In this context, I hope that he could relook into the plan and continue with the struggle in PKR in the spirit of consensus," he told reporters after attending the state assembly sitting Friday.
Zaid said Thursday that he did not rule out setting up a new party should the PKR decide to sack him.
He withdrew from the deputy presidency contest and quit all party posts on Monday, claiming there were "manipulation and unfair electoral practices" in the party.
The former Umno leader had on Tuesday asked Azmin to be disqualified from contesting in the ongoing party's deputy presidential race saying the latter has tampered with the election process and cheated to win.
Zaid had also called for both Azmin and PKR supremo leader Anwar Ibrahim to vacate their leadership of the party.
Azmin said it would be up to the party's disciplinary committee when asked what action could be taken against Zaid for making such remarks and allegations against PKR.
"The party's disciplinary committee will make recommendations to the political bureau and central leadership council. So far we have yet to receive any suggestions from the disciplinary committee," he said.+
