Following Nurul Izzah Anwar's resignation as the PKR vice-president and Penang chief, yet another PKR leader has declined his appointment to head the state chapter.
Hassan Karim announced this in a statement addressed to party president Anwar Ibrahim, today.
"I would like to thank the president for his trust in appointing me as the PKR Johor chief.
"But I have to officially decline the appointment, effective today," the Pasir Gudang MP said, adding that he will remain as an ordinary PKR member and an MP.
Hassan also pledged to continue supporting the Pakatan Harapan government in Parliament, as well as Anwar as the PKR president and the next prime minister.
According to Hassan, it is only fitting for him to reject the Johor appointment, as it has been disputed.
"The new chief must be chosen in a more democratic, and transparent manner, in line with the principles of PKR's Reformasi struggle," he said.
