In a press conference held at the PKR headquarters, Anwar announced his party has also accepted the membership of Mohamed Jidi Yaakob, who used to be a leader in Bera Umno division and one of Ismail Sabri Yaakob's right-hand men there. "Today, I would like to take the opportunity during this presser to announce the entry of Rais as a new PKR member.

"I also want to welcome Mohamed Jidi Yaakob, who is a former Umno grassroots leader in Bera, which is the division being led by our caretaker prime minister. He was with Bersatu before this," Anwar said.

Just last week, Rais announced his departure from Bersatu, a party which he co-founded with several others in 2015.
