Two more PKR leaders defect to Umno
HULU SELANGOR: Kelantan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) youth chief Wan Khairul Ihsan Wan Ahmad and secretary Ezri Zainal Abidin today quit the party to join Umno.
The two youth leaders said the decision was made as they had lost confidence in party adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"The PKR struggle is only for Anwar to become prime minister. The party's principle has changed," he said after handing his membership form to Kelantan Umno liaison chairman Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed here.
Asked why he chose to quit during Hulu Selangor by-election, Wan Khairul said he was aware that it could be manipulated by the opposition.
"This is no political gimmick. We want the people of Hulu Selangor to know the true story."
Wan Khairul said he also lost confidence in the leadership of Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Mat.
The PKR exodus began when Hulu Selangor treasurer Datuk Dr Halili Rahmat quit on Monday followed by Perak wanita information chief Soraya Sulaiman and Bagan Serai deputy wanita chief Roshanita Mohd Basir on Tuesday. - Bernama"The PKR struggle is only for Anwar to become prime minister. The party's principle has changed," he said after handing his membership form to Kelantan Umno liaison chairman Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed here.

Lost confidence or lost direction? Why choose this moment, at the time of by-election, to quit? What reasons or objectives for joining PKR? How many years he has been in the party and only now that he has no confidence in Kelantan Menteri Besar who has ruled Kelantan State for how many years?
