Seberang Jaya assemblyperson Dr Afif Bahardin said he will sit as a Bersatu representative when the Penang state assembly convenes in October.

He said he has been sacked from PKR by the party's political bureau.

Afif was suspended from PKR last month as part of the party's purge against those known to be aligned with former party deputy president Azmin Ali, after he triggered the "Sheraton Move" which led to the downfall of the Pakatan Harapan government.
