KUALA LUMPUR: PKR supreme council member Zaid Ibrahim has announced his withdrawal from PKR's heated deputy presidency race. The decision was made following the failure by the party's leadership to address accusations of electoral discrepancies in the contest for the coveted post despite persistent complaints.
He has also resigned from all posts in the party. He is currently the party's head of Federal Territories, and a member of the powerful political bureau and supreme council. He was also tasked to oversee the formation of Pakatan Rakyat's common policy.
"I was offered to join this party under the belief that I could promote enlightened and progressive politics; and nurture and develop principled political values and culture that I consider indispensable to the development of democracy and good governance in this country. I was mistaken.
