(ST) – Datuk Kamilia Ibrahim, who filed her nomination paper on Saturday to contest as an independent in the Kuala Kangsar parliamentary seat, has quit Umno.

She made the announcement on her Facebook page, reported the New Straits Times.

She also resigned as the Umno supreme council member, Wanita Umno deputy chief and Kuala Kangsar Wanita Umno division chief, according to the newspaper.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had earlier announced her sacking as Wanita Umno vice chief for contesting the Kuala Kangsar seat as an independent, said the report.

Ms Kamilia sprang a surprise when she filed her nomination paper for the Kuala Kangsar parliament seat. She is up against Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Wan Mohammad Khair-il Anuar Wan Ahmad and Parti Islam SeMalaysia’s Khalil Idham Lim Abdullah.
