Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (Kita) should build relations with the "third force movement" led by expelled PAS leader Hasan Ali instead of dissolving the party, its Kedah chief Zamil Ibrahim says.

Teaming up with Jati, the outspoken local leader said, would be more logical than supporting Pakatan Rakyat as Kita was founded on non-partisan grounds.

"We should dialogue with Hasan, the new third force, and not dissolve the party.

"It is our non-partisan stand that has attracted members and my recent BN-friendly statements do not mean I support BN. Rather, I commended them on good decisions," Zamil said.

NONE Speaking in Putrjaya in response to party chief Zaid Ibrahim's announcement that Kita would be dissolved soon, the agitated Zamil said Kita was flourishing and would do fine without Zaid.

"In terms of funding, Zaid's support has been minimal... he only gave us 10 percent of the cost of the state office during the officiation," he said.

'Zaid has personal interest in dissolution'

Zamil, who was flanked by Selangor Kita chief Azmi Othman and Johor chief Mohd Zaid Mohd Yusof, added that he suspects the party chief has a "personal interest" in dissolving Kita.

"Is he trying to get close to (PKR de facto leader) Anwar Ibrahim? I'm not sure, but if yes, he should just step down as Kita chief," he said.

He said Zaid's actions of late showed that his appointment as Kita chief was a "mistake".

"I don't think the Akim leaders realised this when they let him take over the party last year," Zamil added.
