PETALING JAYA: A slew of new state PKR chiefs were named today, with deputy president Rafizi Ramli relinquishing control of the federal territories and Johor, and a new leader in Sabah to replace Sangkar Rasam.

Rafizi has been replaced by Azman Abidin and Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh, respectively. Azman is the political secretary to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is PKR president, while Syed Ibrahim is the Ledang MP.

Deputy higher education minister Mustapha Sakmud replaces Sangkar as the head of Sabah PKR.

Sangkar had been urged to step down by 15 of 26 division chiefs in Sabah, which he rejected. Anwar had said he would intervene in the matter.

Deputy domestic trade and cost of living minister Fuziah Salleh takes over from party vice-president Amirudin Shari as Pahang PKR chief, though Amirudin will continue to lead the Selangor chapter.

Vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad was relieved of his duties as Kelantan and Terengganu PKR chief, with the state leadership posts now going to Suparadi Noor and Ahmad Nazri Yusof, respectively.

There were no changes to the other state leaderships.

In a statement, PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil said the changes were decided by the party’s central leadership council.

He added that the top leadership also discussed the looming by-election for the Sungai Bakap state seat in Penang. It will be called by the Election Commission following the death of PAS’s Nor Zamri Latiff on Friday.
