ALOR STAR – Suka Menanti assemblyman Datuk Zamri Yusuf has been named the new opposition leader in the Kedah assembly, replacing Datuk Johari Abdul who vacated his Gurun assembly seat in December last year.
The appointment of the PKR assemblyman was announced by Speaker Datuk Juhari Bulat before the start of the oral question-and-answer session at the Kedah assembly sitting at Wisma Darul Aman here today.
Juhari also informed that the Gurun state seat would remain vacant until the end of the term.
On December 18 last year, Johari announced his decision to vacate the Gurun seat with immediate effect and said that he had submitted a letter over the matter to the Kedah speaker on December 13, 2022.
Meanwhile, Juhari also announced that Alor Mengkudu assemblyman Datuk Phahrolrazi Mohd Zawawi is now a Pakatan Harapan (PH-PKR) elected representative.
It was reported that the former Kedah Amanah chairman had been sacked from Amanah for violating the party’s constitution. – Bernama, March 13, 2023
