SHAH ALAM: PKR deputy presidential candidate Azmin Ali has asked his political nemesis Zaid Ibrahim to continue his struggle from within and not form a new party.
"I hope the plan will not be set into motion as to my understanding when Zaid joined PKR, it was on the spirit of fighting side by side with the PKR leadership and members to continue the reformation agenda and effect changes," he said when met at the sidelines of the state assembly sitting here today.
Zaid had recently dropped a bombshell by announcing that he was withdrawing from the deputy presidential contest, citing alleged irregularities in the election process.
He also resigned from all his posts and called on Azmin to be disqualified for cheating, a charge which the former had denied.
Apart from this, Zaid also called for PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim to step down.
Speaking at a function in Sungai Petani, Kedah, on Wednesday, Zaid, in response to a question, said in jest that he did not rule out the possibility of forming a new party should he be sacked.
However, Azmin said the former Umno strongman should consider his next move carefully.
"In this context, we hope he can reconsider his decision and continue in the spirit of togetherness with PKR," he added.
Asked whether the top leadership would take action against Zaid following his public outbursts, Azmin said the decision was entirely up to the party's disciplinary committee to decide.
"The party's disciplinary committee will make recommendations to the political bureau and central leadership council. So far we have yet to receive any suggestions from the disciplinary committee," he said.
