GURUN assemblyman Johari Abdul, of PKR, has been unanimously elected the new opposition leader in the Kedah assembly.

Johari said the election was made during a break in the session at the assembly today.

“Alhamdulillah, all my 10 colleagues in Pakatan Harapan unanimously agreed to give me a chance to replace Phahrolrazi Mohd Zawawi.

“I’ll do my utmost best to ensure we become a constructive and best opposition for the state,” he said in Alor Star today.

He thanked Phahrolrazi, the Alor Mengkudu assemblyman, for his contributions.

“He has provided insightful views and ideas in this assembly, so the opposition will continue to ensure that the role continues to be played as best as possible,” he added.

Phahrolrazi was sacked as Kedah Amanah chairman yesterday, accused of breaching the party’s constitution and acting against its interests. – Bernama, October 31, 2022.
