PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh said the party leadership will get in touch with them to advise them about their positions as MPs, having been elected on Pakatan Harapan tickets in 2022.

Fuziah said all PKR MPs should carry the party’s vision instead of promoting other parties while serving their constituencies, Berita Harian reported.

“We have already ordered several leaders to get in touch (with the party) to negotiate and advise them that, when they are elected as MPs, they represent the party.

“That is the party leadership’s advice to them. We respect them as MPs, but they must hold fast to what has been determined by the party,” she was quoted as saying.

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

They also announced their resignations as the Pandan and Setiawangsa MPs, respectively, as well as from PKR.

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

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung also attended the press conference.
