PETALING JAYA: Former Kedah Amanah chief Phahrolrazi Zawawi, who was sacked by the party before the recent general election, will not join PAS or Perikatan Nasional.
Instead, he said, he and about 200 supporters would join another Pakatan Harapan component party, but he declined to identify it.
“We are not interested in returning to PAS or joining any party in PN,” he told FMT.
Amanah is a splinter of PAS.
Phahrolrazi, who is the assemblyman for Alor Mengkudu, was sacked by his party after he said Kedah Amanah leaders would boycott the PH candidate for Jerai in GE15 as they were dissatisfied with DAP’s choice of its deputy state chief, Zulhazmi Shariff, for the seat.
Amanah officials said this was a defiance of the party’s decisions and an action against its interests and was, therefore, a violation of its constitution.
Following Phahrolrazi’s sacking, more than 200 party members, including most of the Kedah Amanah youth leaders, quit the party.
He claimed that more members in Kedah would leave the party soon.
Asked whether he thought his entry into another PH party would lead to a split in the coalition, he said such a move was nothing new.
“In the past, in Johor and Selangor, there were Amanah elected representatives who joined another party in the coalition,” he said.
“Actually, PH has never said leaders cannot switch from one party within the coalition to another. It is not seen as an act of hostility because we are still in the same coalition.” - FMT
