PORT KLANG, 17 Oct: Mohamed Azmin denied allegations that the appointment of the Member of Parliament for Pandan, Rafizi Ramli, as the PKR Secretary General was an effort to control or suppress his power as the Chief Minister of Selangor.
Instead, he explained that Rafizi’s appointment to the position was the party’s desire.
“No. This was the party’s decision,” he said to the media after mingling and the Friday prayers at the Kampung Raja Uda Mosque here.
There have been allegations by some stating that Rafizi’s appointment as the PKR Secretary General, replacing Datuk Saifuiddin Nasution Ismail, was top control Azmin’s power as the new Chief Minister of Selangor for the sake of safeguarding the interests of the party.
Prior to this, Saifuddin was appointed as the PKR Election Director with another Vice President, Nurul Izzah Anwar, to replace Mohamed Azmin Ali.
