KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 — Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad have resigned as members of Parliament of Pandan and Setiawangsa respectively, effective today.
In a joint statement issued on 18 May 2026, the duo said they had sent letters to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul to inform him of their resignations.
“With this, we vacate the parliamentary seats of Pandan and Setiawangsa following our intention to explore a new political agenda,” the statement read.
