Former economy minister Dato’ Seri Rafizi Ramli and Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad are set to announce their new political direction on May 17, 2026.
Rafizi said in a post on X that both leaders have spent the past year considering various views and factors before deciding on their next political step, with the announcement to be made at PJ Performing Arts Centre (PJPAC) in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, from 2 pm to 5 pm, with public attendance beginning at 1 pm.
He said the event will be open to the public and encouraged supporters and livestreamers nationwide to attend or broadcast the proceedings, while also inviting Malaysians from diverse backgrounds who support progressive political movements to participate in the announcement.
The session is expected to draw significant public attention given Rafizi’s role as a former economy minister and prominent reformist voice, with the event also being positioned as a broader engagement with supporters on the future direction of their political involvement.
