Selangor BN welcomes former menteri besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to join the coalition of three former menteri besar who are out to recapture the state for BN in the 14th General Election.
Selangor BN chairperson Noh Omar said the return of Khalid could support the party’s efforts to prove to the people that the development that Selangor was enjoying right now was due to the contributions of past menteri besars.
Noh, who is also housing and local government minister, was speaking to reporters after launching the Selangor-level ‘Gelombang Tani’ Carnival in Sabak Bernam.
Khalid joined Umno in the 1990s before joining PKR around 2000.
He was the14th Selangor menteri besar and the first by the federal opposition following the 12th general election in 2008.
However, Abdul Khalid was sacked from PKR after helming the state’s administration for six years for refusing to submit his resignation as Selangor menteri besar.
PKR had demanded that he resign after complaining about his refusal to comply with party directives.
Last week, former Selangor menteri besar Muhammad Muhammad Taib rejoined Umno.
He was with PAS in 2013 and PKR in 2015.
Noh had said that Muhammad, along with two other former Selangor menteri besars namely Abu Hassan Omar and Mohamad Khir Toyo, would join forces to help BN recapture Selangor.
