I took leave to tackle post-party polls issues, says Rafizi


PETALING JAYA: PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli said his recent leave of absence was to address issues that emerged during the party’s 2025 internal elections, particularly allegations of irregularities after the unexpected defeat of several senior leaders.

“As the deputy president, I had decided to focus full-time on resolving these matters, including meeting with candidates and addressing their concerns.

“It is reasonable that party affairs should not overlap with the official duties of a minister. For me, separating responsibilities as a party leader from ministerial roles reflects a political culture we should nurture,” he added.
