Many to leave Umno for PKR after purge: Zahidi

KUALA LUMPUR – Former Umno Padang Besar division chief Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin is set to join PKR, claiming that many others will do likewise following a massive purge from the nationalist Malay party.

The former deputy communications and multimedia minister told Sinar Harian that among those set to leave include party office-bearers at the national level.

He also said he is planning to submit his membership form to join PKR on February 4.

“There will be some 100 members of the Padang Besar Umno division who plan to join (submit membership forms) PKR this February 4. It is expected that many (Umno) branches in Padang Besar will be dissolved,” he was quoted as saying.
