Former Kelantan Bersatu deputy chairman joins DAP

KOTA BHARU: Former Kelantan Bersatu deputy chairman Mohd Zulkifli Zakaria has joined DAP.

He submitted his membership application form to the party's representative here on Saturday (July 22) night.

Also joining him were 12 pro-tem committee members of a DAP branch that will be established in Bachok soon.

Mohd Zulkifli said there are currently two DAP branches in the Pantai Irama state constituency which comes under the Bachok parliamentar constituency.

"After this we will set up more branches in the Jelawat and Tawang state constituencies which are also in the Bachok parliamentary constituency,” he told reporters after the ceremony to hand over his membership form to state DAP chairman Datuk Azaha Abdul Rani.

Also present was Penang DAP Secretary Lim Hui Ying.

The media previously reported Mohd Zulkifli's membership in Bersatu was automatically stripped after he ran as an Independent candidate for the Bachok seat in the 15th General Election (GE15) last year. - Bernama
