Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, former PKR vice-president, officially vacated his parliamentary seat for Setiawangsa on May 18, 2026, following his resignation announcement the day before [1]. Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli also resigned on the same day, with both expected to submit formal documents to the Dewan Rakyat Speaker confirming their seat vacations [2].
Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh has given assurances that services overseen by the Federal Territories Department in Setiawangsa will continue without disruption despite the political changes. She stated, "I wish to assure the residents of Setiawangsa that services under the Department of Federal Territories will continue without disruption" [1].
To maintain smooth local governance, Yeoh has directed Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Fadlun Mak Ujud to bolster the DBKL Setiawangsa branch office's capacity by increasing its manpower [2, 1]. The DBKL Setiawangsa branch is based at D'Wangsa, 1 Jalan Wangsa Delima 13, Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur, and operates from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Residents can reach the office by phone at 03-4142 2740 or email [email protected] [2, 1].
Following these changes, the Federal Territories Ministry activated measures to ensure grassroots services and local governance in Setiawangsa remain unaffected [1]. Minister Yeoh also reaffirmed her commitment to environmental efforts in the area, stating, "I will also work with all stakeholders to continue efforts to save and preserve Bukit Dinding so that it remains a green jewel of Kuala Lumpur for the people" [1].
The next key procedural step involves the submission of resignation documents by Nik Nazmi and Rafizi Ramli to the Dewan Rakyat Speaker to formalize the vacation of their seats [2].
