SHAH ALAM, April 9 (Bernama) -- Paya Jaras assemblyman Mohd Khairuddin Othman quitting PAS to join Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) was expected, said Selangor PAS commissioner Sallehen Mukhyi.

He said it was expected because Mohd Khairuddin was absent at many party organised programmes.

"His action (Mohd Khairuddin) to leave has no impact on PAS, we already have a young and professional candidate to contest in the Paya Jaras state seat in the 14th General Election.

"PAS members there are ready to fight to defend the state seat," he told Bernama when contacted here today.

In a Pakatan Harapan ceramah in Sungai Buloh last night, PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali announced that Mohd Khairuddin, who was also a former Selangor PAS secretary, had left PAS and joined PKR.
