Ampang PKR deputy chief Daing Reduan Bachok cited Rodziah’s links to Rafizi Ramli’s Parti Bersama Malaysia, having attended the announcement of the party takeover yesterday.

Daing said such political movements were an attempt to weaken PKR from within and betray the people’s mandate given to the party and Pakatan Harapan in the 15th general election.

“To preserve the dignity of PKR’s struggle and respect the people’s mandate, I urge Rodziah to immediately resign and vacate the Ampang seat,” he said in a statement.

Former ministers Rafizi and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad announced yesterday that they would be taking over Bersama to chart a new political direction for themselves and their supporters.

They also announced their resignations as Pandan and Setiawangsa MPs, respectively.

Five PKR MPs appeared in a photo session with the duo, namely Rodziah, Bakhtiar Wan Chik (Balik Pulau), Wong Chen (Subang), S Kesavan (Sungai Siput) and Zahir Hassan (Wangsa Maju).

Daing said the Ampang PKR grassroots remain firmly behind party president Anwar Ibrahim and would not compromise on any action that could threaten party stability or undermine public confidence in its struggle.

FMT has reached out to Rodziah for comment.
