Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail was sworn in today as the new Kajang state assemblyman, following her win at the state by-election two weeks ago.
In the March 23 by-election, she defeated Barisan Nasional’s (BN) candidate, Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun on the MCA, with a 5,379 vote majority, a smaller margin of victory than PKR’s previous win in the constituency in the 13th General Elections.
“I solemnly swear to carry out my responsibilities as a state assemblyman,” she said at the opening of the Selangor state assembly here which was officiated by Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
