Kuala Lumpur, Nov 26 – Eleven Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leaders in Sabah quit the party today and expressed support for the Barisan Nasional (BN).
They comprise division heads, division deputy heads and division information chiefs from Kudat, Kota Marudu, Kota Belud, Sepanggar, Pensiangan, Beluran, Kinabatangan, Batu Sapi, Silam, Kalabakan and Semporna.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak told a media conference here that they had lost confidence in the PKR leadership.
He said this was the first wave of PKR leaders quitting the party in Sabah and that more would be following in their footsteps soon.
“With what has happened and is going to happen, it means that PKR in Sabah is about finished and the BN is getting stronger and continues to gain the trust of Sabahans,” he said.
