PKR deputy president hopeful Azmin Ali expressed "shock" over Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim's announcement that he too is interested in the position.
"I am shocked by Khalid's announcement. Based on feedback from friends and leaders including his senior staff, he had given commitment not to contest (as his) focus is on
running the state.
"It is not my preference but what was decided by the party at (the retreat in Shah Alam),"
he said.
He added that the "spirit of the decision" made in Shah Alam last June, was for him to concentrate on the party while Khalid kept his eyes on state development.
