ALOR SETAR, March 13 (Bernama) -- Suka Menanti assemblyman Datuk Zamri Yusuf has been named the new opposition leader in the Kedah State Assembly, replacing Datuk Johari Abdul who vacated his Gurun assembly state seat in December last year.

The appointment of the PKR assemblyman was announced by speaker Datuk Juhari Bulat before the start of the oral question and answer session at the Kedah State Assembly sitting at Wisma Darul Aman, here today.

Juhari also informed that the Gurun state seat would remain vacant until the end of the term.

On Dec 18 last year, Johari announced his decision to vacate the Gurun state seat with immediate effect and said that he had submitted a letter over the matter to the Kedah State Assembly speaker on Dec 13, 2022.

Meanwhile, Juhari also announced that Alor Mengkudu assemblyman Datuk Phahrolrazi Mohd Zawawi is now a Pakatan Harapan (PH-PKR) elected representative.

It was reported that the former Kedah Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) chairman has been sacked from Amanah for violating the party’s constitution.
