The move marks a potential return to the party for Kamarudin, who previously held the parliamentary seat representing the Kuala Lumpur constituency. Details regarding the timing of his membership application or the circumstances surrounding his previous departure from PKR remain unclear.
PKR, officially known as Parti Keadilan Rakyat, has not yet made a public statement regarding the application. The Cheras division, which encompasses parts of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, remains a key political battleground in Malaysia's political landscape.
Kamarudin's potential return to the party comes as Malaysian politics continues to experience significant shifts in party allegiances and coalition alignments. His reentry into PKR, should the application be approved, could influence the party's standing in the federal territory.
