Don't backstab like Azmin, Rafizi reminds party members

PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli took a jab at his former party colleague Azmin Ali during his address at the PKR GE15 convention in Shah Alam, Selangor today.

Speaking to grassroots members, Rafizi advised them to refrain from becoming like the former PKR deputy president, who he said betrayed the party when things did not go his way.

“Heading towards GE15 (15th general election), we have to maintain our intentions on why we want to enter (politics) and not for positions.

“I’ll say it early on that if you don’t become a candidate, don’t sabotage or make a big deal.

“If there are those who win (seats in GE15) but don’t get a position in government, don’t backstab like Azmin and his friends,” Rafizi (above) said.

Rafizi was referring to the Sheraton Move where Azmin and 11 other PKR MPs defected to Bersatu, causing the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government.

The former Pandan MP reminded his party members today that it was important to fulfil their responsibilities for the sake of the future generation.

Adding to that, he said the next month or so would be crucial for them to carry out their responsibilities.

He said that the party would be introducing its shortlisted candidates within the next month.

The deputy president said the party grassroots each has a role to play in the “war” against BN.
