Anwar: PKR will welcome Rafizi back with open arms should he return to politics

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 — PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said that he would welcome back former vice-president of the party, Rafizi Ramli, should he wish to return to the field of politics. 

According to Anwar, Rafizi, as a member of PKR and a Malaysian citizen, has the right to make any decision he wants, especially in the political and democratic spheres.

“He is a member of the party and like all the members, has his rights. We will always welcome his participation back into the political arena, and it should and must include welcome all,” he was quoted saying by Astro Awani. 

This comes after party sources from within the PKR leadership told Malaysiakini that there would be a three-cornered fight between secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Perak PKR chief Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak and Rafizi for the post of deputy president of the party in the coming party elections in April.
