Sabah PKR’s internal crisis continues as a senior division leader today claimed that 3,125 members from the Pitas branch have quit the party.
Kudat PKR division vice-chairperson Rudy Awah, who led the group, said they decided to leave en masse due to uncertainties of the party's direction, especially involving the Sabah PKR leadership council.
“We unanimously announced to quit the party today after almost two years coordinating the Pitas branch. A total of 3,125 members who have been brought into PKR then decided to quit the party,” he said in a press conference in Kota Marudu.
Rudy added all of them would remain politically independent and support the Perikatan Nasional (PN) in Sabah.
The former chairperson of the PKR training bureau and party machinery bureau said that they will use the Persatuan Jiwa Anak Pitas platform to continue to fight for the local community and work for them.
“We will fully support PN and also the leadership of Muhyiddin Yassin as prime minister,” he said.
