Rafizi back in KL after defeat, confirms Aminuddin
JOHOR BARU: PKR vice-president Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun has confirmed that Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has returned to Kuala Lumpur.
The Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar shared the update during the winding-up session of the 2025 PKR National Congress at the Persada International Convention Centre here today.
"Last night, after the official announcement of the Central Leadership Council election results, I invited Rafizi for a drink and a meal. We discussed many things, including sharing our thoughts.
"Initially, Rafizi informed me that he would attend the final day of the 2025 PKR National Congress today, but this morning he informed me he was heading back to Kuala Lumpur and has now arrived safely," he said.
Earlier, the media reported that the Pandan member of Parliament and Economy Minister, who lost the race for the PKR deputy presidency, was not present on the congress's final day.
The results of the 2025–2028 PKR MPP election, including for the deputy president post, were announced by Central Election Committee chairperson Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa at around 10.30pm last night.
Former Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar secured 9,803 votes, defeating Rafizi, who garnered 3,866 votes.
