I wish to announce my withdrawal as a candidate from the contest of Deputy President of Parti Keadilan Rakyat and my resignation from all posts held in the party.
I was offered to join this party under the belief that I could promote enlightened and progressive politics; nurture and develop principled political values and culture that I consider indispensable to the development of democracy and good governance in this country. I was mistaken.
Over the course of the party elections, events have shown that the leadership actively condones malpractices and electoral fraud to achieve its designed objectives. I am certain that any political party with such hypocritical and false values will not be able to offer meaningful reforms to the people of this country.
I have made this decision because there is no attempt on the part of the party leadership to address the various issues of manipulation and unfair electoral practices, although these issues were raised repeatedly.
I wish to thank all the members who have supported me and placed their faith in the cause of reform. It is of utmost disappointment that I am unable to continue in this flawed election process. I remain committed to the Opposition’s cause and will continue to speak about the issues of the common people. Together, we will continue our unabated struggle towards a better government for the people.
Finally, I hope those adoring fans of Anwar Ibrahim will no longer regard me as a “spoiler” standing in the way of their march to Putrajaya. I wish them well.

SUNGAI PETANI 11 Nov. - Bekas Ahli Majlis Tertinggi Pusat dan Pengerusi Perhubungan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim akan menubuhkan parti politik baru sekiranya dikenakan tindakan pecat oleh pucuk pimpinan PKR.
Beliau berkata, parti yang mungkin dinamakan 'Keadilan Baru' itu akan diwujudkan bagi meneruskan perjuangan jangka panjangnya iaitu melakukan transformasi politik di negara ini.
"Kalau mereka pecat saya, maka saya kena buat (parti) Keadilan Baru. Takkanlah saya nak pencen dan balik nak jadi peguam, tua dah tak boleh.
"Saya akan teruskan perjuangan. Saya percaya dapat melakukan transformasi politik dengan cara begini.
"Apa yang saya cuba lakukan mungkin tidak berjaya sepenuhnya, tetapi ia memang menjadi hasrat saya dari awal," katanya pada majlis dialog bersama lebih 100 ahli PKR dari kawasan Kedah Tengah di Pejabat PKR Taman Intan di sini malam tadi.
