PANDAN MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad announced that they will vacate their respective parliamentary seats effective tomorrow.
Both of them today said they will inform the Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul about the matter tomorrow.
They also announced that they will leave PKR and join Parti Bersama Malaysia next Tuesday, and will inform PKR Secretary-General Datuk Fuziah Salleh through an official letter about their decision to leave PKR.
Earlier, Rafizi and Nik Nazmi, at a press conference in Petaling Jaya, confirmed that they will take over a political party known as MUP.
Apart from the two of them, also seen at the event were several other PKR MPs, including Wong Chen (Subang), Datuk Bakhtiar Wan Chik (Balik Pulau), Rodziah Ismail (Ampang), Zahir Hassan (Wangsa Maju) and Lee Chean Chung (Petaling Jaya).
Following the development, PKR Secretary-General Fuziah Salleh said the party would soon decide on the positions of Rafizi and Nik Nazmi, as well as several other PKR elected representatives, including those who attended the takeover ceremony of Parti Bersama Malaysia.
"After a long time of continuous attacks on the party, Rafizi has finally announced that he is taking over the new party. PKR will make a decision soon, and will also discuss the status of our MPs who were also present at the event," she told Berita Harian. – May 17, 2026
