If I understand you correctly you are trying to remove some style from previous elements and apply news elements to New Ones.
First of all, create a class which shows elements has selected, something like:
.selected { background: #ddd; }
Then on jQuery you have to attach to the click event of your anchor a tags.
$("a").on('click', function() {
//Now this is run when all `a` will be clicked
//First lets remove selected class from previously selected items
$('.selected').removeClass('selected');
// And lets add selected to currect element and this parent
$(this).addClasss('selected');
$(this).parent('li').find('a:first').addClass('selected');
});
