Azmin replaces Khalid as Selangor PKR chief

PKR vice-president Azmin Ali has been named as the party's new Selangor chief replacing incumbent, Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim.

Whereas supreme council members Zaid Ibrahim and Chua Jui Meng have been named as the party's Federal Territories and Johore chiefs respectively.

Azmin's appointment confirms speculations that PKR is concerned about its fate in Selangor come the next general election.

Critics have claimed that Khalid has been unable to woo grassroots support despite having led the state for more than two years now.

Azmin, the influential right hand man of PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim, has always been touted as the best candidate to bridge that gap.
