PETALING JAYA: Rafizi Ramli has resigned as economy minister after losing to Nurul Izzah Anwar in the race for the PKR deputy president’s post.
“I have submitted my resignation letter to the prime minister. This resignation will take effect on June 17. I will be utilising the remainder of my annual leave from today until June 16,” he said in a statement.
Prior to the PKR polls, Rafizi had said he would quit as economy minister and go back to being a regular MP if he failed to be re-elected to PKR’s No 2 post.
The two-term Pandan MP said it would be inappropriate for a Cabinet post to be held by someone who was not a member of the party’s central leadership.
Speculation of his resignation from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s Cabinet first swirled following the PKR divisional elections, which saw several figures said to be closely associated with Rafizi failing to win their contests.
