Ex-Kuala Penyu YB joins PKR
Kota Belud: Former Kuala Penyu Assemblyman Datuk John Ghani - whose numerous applications to re-join Umno have been rejected despite being instrumental in bringing Umno to Sabah - announced he is joining Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).
He was welcomed by PKR Sabah liaison chief, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during a party orientation gathering at the Airport View Hotel here Friday.
John, however, said he made the decision to join PKR not because he was dejected that his applications to re-join Umno were rejected.
He felt it was his responsibility to continue with his struggle for the people, especially in the constituency that he won in 2004 as an Independent candidate.
John said he would be submitting his membership application soon and that he was not offered any positions to join PKR but was attracted to its struggle under Anwar's leadership. He assured that he would commit himself to the struggle of PKR and he would never back out should he get an offer to re-join Umno.
Meanwhile, Anwar welcomed John's arrival and believed many more like him would be following his footsteps soon.
