00:00Former Bandar Tun Raza MP Kamaruddin Jafar and former Nibong Tebal MP Mansur Otman are expected to rejoin PKR following
00:10President Anwar Ibrahim's call for party veterans to return to the fold.
00:15A source told FMT that Kamaruddin wanted to join PKR's Cherash Division and the Federal Territories Chapter had no objection
00:23to accepting him.
00:24The source noted that Kamaruddin's possible return matched Anwar's call for former leaders to rejoin PKR.
00:33Kamaruddin confirmed he was discussing a return to support political stability and safeguard national interests but had not submitted a
00:41formal application.
00:43He added that he would rejoin PKR if discussions lead to positive developments.
00:49Kamaruddin also noted that PKR was the only party he was considering rejoining at this stage.
00:56FMT learned that Mansur was also considering a return after Anwar's call, having previously served as Anwar's political secretary in
01:04the 1990s and, at one point, a PKR vice president.
01:09Kamaruddin and Mansur were among 11 MPs who left PKR after the Sheraton move in 2020.
01:15The move was one of the key factors behind the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan-led federal government.
01:21They later joined Bersatu.
01:23The source pointed out that Tian Chua and Dr. Xavier Jayakumar's return showed PKR remained popular despite the emergence of
01:31Bersama under former PKR leaders Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Ndik Ahmad.
01:36Federal Territory's PKR chief Asman Abidin did not dismiss the possibility of Kamaruddin returning to the party but declined to
01:44comment further.
