Bersama Suspends Nik Nazmi for Three Months Over Khalwat Incident

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17, 2026 – Parti Bersama Malaysia has suspended Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad from all official party activities for three months, effective Oct 20, following his admission of involvement in an incident linked to a raid by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais).

The party said the decision was made after Nik Nazmi publicly confirmed he was the man found with a woman who was not his muhrim in an enclosed space during a raid in Petaling Jaya on Oct 15.

Bersama said the move was necessary and reasonable, while acknowledging Nik Nazmi’s contributions and commitment since the party’s relaunch in May this year.
