Manivannan s/o Gowindasamy (Tamil: கோ. மணிவண்ணன், romanized: Ko. Maṇivaṇṇaṉ) is a Malaysian politician who served as Member of Parliament for Kapar from May 2013 to May 2018.[1] He is a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and formerly Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalitions.
On 28 Nov 2017 Manivannan resigned as PKR's secretary whip after his error on the omission of an opposition vote during a tabulation of bloc vote on Budget 2018 he called in the parliament earlier.[2]
In the 2018 election, Manivannan contested as PKR candidate in the Perak State Legislative Assembly constituency of Hutan Melintang instead but lost to the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in a three corner fight with Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) candidate.[3]
