PKR vice-president Mohamed Azmin Ali has called on former Federal Territories PKR chief Zaid Ibrahim to reconsider his plan to set up a new party if he is sacked from the party.

NONE Mohamed Azmin said he hoped the plan would not materalise because to his understanding, Zaid joined the PKR to be with the leaders and party members and contribute to the reformasi agenda.

"In this context, I hope that he could relook into the plan and continue with the struggle in PKR in the spirit of consensus," he told reporters after attending the Selangor state assembly sitting today.

Zaid said yesterday that he did not rule out setting up a new party should the PKR decide to sack him.

He withdrew from the deputy presidency contest and quit all party posts on Monday, claiming there were "manipulation and unfair electoral practices" in the party.

Asked what action could be taken against Zaid for making such remarks, Mohamed Azmin said it would be up to the party's disciplinary committee.
