There is no disunity within Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), its vice president Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin said.
"I cannot comment based on speculation.
"What's certain is, everything that concerns positions within the party is under the jurisdiction of the President," he said.
Shamsul Iskandar, who is Bukit Katil MP, was asked about the speculations surrounding PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli's fate following his recent exposure of alleged wrongdoing within the Selangor state administration.
"All current issues will be discussed at the Political Bureau meeting. This is normal," said Shamsul Iskandar.
When asked about the relationship between Rafizi and PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, Shamsul Iskandar said there were no problems between them.
"Their relationship is cordial," he replied curtly.
Speculations on Rafizi's position in the party were rife following his exposure of a leaked WhatsApp message that claimed there was corruption in the Selangor government, involving money and women.
However, the Pandan MP had claimed that the complaint he received was not directed to any Selangor elected rep or individuals working in the state government.
Mohamed Azmin, who is Selangor MB, at the same time had slammed those who made the allegations, describing the act as a political attack to tarnish the image of the government under his administration.
