Kelantan PKR chairman Ab Aziz Ab Kadir said party members had stayed away from swearing-in ceremonies at local councils to abide by the party’s directive.
“The state PKR is collecting all the resignation letters from our members holding appointed posts to hand them over officially,” he told FMT.
On May 17, PKR’s political bureau ordered the party’s members holding positions in the Kelantan administration to resign immediately.
The directive, however, was silent on the position of the three PAS executive councillors in the Selangor administration headed by Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali, who is also PKR deputy president.
Azmin has agreed to maintain the status quo between PKR and PAS in Selangor, a decision that was endorsed by PKR’s political bureau at a meeting last night.
Ab Aziz said the latest development in Selangor to allow PAS appointees to stay on might change the decision of PKR’s members in Kelantan.
However, he said, Kelantan PKR had received no new directive to remain in the state’s administration, a position PAS has publicly stated it was agreeable to if PKR made such a decision.
“If no new directive is received from the PKR leadership, we will stick with the earlier decision to withdraw from the state administration,” he said.
