Zahid denies talk of seven BN MPs vacating seats

The BN chairman said party MPs signed a cooperation pact that forbids them from taking such an action

SHAH ALAM – Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today dismissed rumours that seven Barisan Nasional (BN) members of parliament are vacating their seats.

The BN chairman said this was just a rumour as BN MPs signed a cooperation pact earlier.

“Most importantly, if they want to make any political move they need to wait until the end of the term. They should also think of the mandate. In addition, appointment letters issued to them were to represent the party, not themselves.

“They have signed the agreement and made the pledge before me,” he said when asked to comment on Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam’s video in which he claimed that seven MPs from Johor, Pahang, Sabah and the northern peninsula were vacating their seats.

On the now vacant Pelangai state seat, Zahid said he had discussed the matter with Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.

“We have studied the results in the last general election and we feel there must be continuity in the development of the Pelangai constituency area,” he said.

The Pelangai seat was declared vacant following the death of its incumbent, Datuk Seri Johari Harun, in a plane crash on near Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam, on August 17.

The Election Commission in a statement today said a special meeting would be held this Thursday to discuss the by-election for the seat. – August 21, 2023
