KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 27): Ranau law maker Jonathan Yasin has now stated that he is still a PKR member, said reports.

Jonathan is known to be part of the Datuk Seri Azmin Ali faction. When Azmin and Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin were sacked from PKR, Jonathan and eight other party lawmakers followed them to create “an independent bloc”.

“For the record, I am still in PKR. I also deny that I have given my agreement to leave the party. I will clarify this matter with the party’s committee, bureau later this afternoon,” Jonathan wrote in a Facebook posting.

The Malay Mail reported that the Azmin faction of 11 MPs “had issued a joint press statement with Johnathan being one of the signatories. He has since then signed every joint press statement issued by the group.”
