00:01Nick Nazmi, Nick Ahmad, has resigned as Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister after failing to defend his PKR vice presidency.
00:10Nick Nazmi, a two-term MP, had also failed to defend his position as Sitia Wangsa PKR chief in the party's divisional polls last month.
00:19The Sitia Wangsa MP was the running mate of Rafizi Ramli, who lost the PKR deputy president's post to Nurul Iza Hanwar.
00:28Just hours earlier today, Rafizi also announced his resignation effective June 17th, saying he no longer has the party's mandate to translate the people's agenda.
00:40Prior to the PKR polls, Rafizi had said he would quit as economy minister and go back to being a regular MP if he fails to be re-elected to PKR's number two post.
00:51The two-term Pandaman MP said it would be inappropriate for a cabinet post to be held by a non-party leader in justifying resigning as minister.
