"He (Saifuddin) has relinquished his position as secretary-general. Fuziah Salleh is replacing Saifuddin as secretary-general," Nik Nazmi said in a statement on Sunday (Sept 15).
He stated that Saifuddin would now focus on his roles as the Pakatan Harapan secretary-general, a member of the PKR Political Bureau, and a member of the Unity Government Leadership Consultation Council.
"At the same time, Fuziah, who previously served as the Chairperson of the Pahang State Leadership Council, will be succeeded by Rizal Jamin.
"In Perak, Mohamad Hairul Amir Sabri has been appointed as the new state chairman, replacing Chang Lih Kang, who will continue to serve as PKR vice president. Mohd Azlan Helmi has been named deputy chairman of MPN Perak."
Nik Nazmi, who is the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister, added that the MPP has also established a Management Committee, with Saifuddin serving as the advisor.
The committee includes vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar, Fuziah Salleh, treasurer-general William Leong, deputy youth chief Muhammad Kamil Munim, and deputy women’s chief Juwairiya Zulkifli.
"All appointments take effect immediately," Nik Nazmi said.
