KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 — Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad have stepped down as Members of Parliament for Pandan and Setiawangsa, effective today.
In a joint statement issued on 18 May 2026, the pair said they had formally submitted resignation letters to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul to notify him of their decision.
They stated that the move was made to “vacate the parliamentary seats of Pandan and Setiawangsa following our intention to explore a new political agenda,” describing it as a “right and honourable step” to return the mandate to voters in both constituencies, where they were elected under the Pakatan Harapan banner in the last general election.
Both expressed appreciation to their constituents for entrusting them to serve for two terms, and assured that their constituency service centres will continue operating as usual to assist residents.
They also confirmed plans to contest the same seats again under the Bersama platform in the next general election, though no further details were provided regarding the platform or election timeline.
