Six Bersatu MPs who declared support for PM Anwar don’t have to vacate their seats, says Nazri Aziz
“They are free to support or vote for any Bill presented by the government and Bersatu can’t stop them through their recent party constitution amendment”
(MMO) – The six Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) MPs who supported the prime minister do not have to vacate their seats despite the party’s constitutional amendments that have been approved by the Registrar of Societies (RoS), said Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.
The Padang Rengas Umno chief said that the main purpose of implementing the Anti-Party Hopping Act was to prevent attempts to topple the government such as the “Sheraton Move” back in 2020, Astro Awani reported.
Mohamed Nazri pointed out that the six MPs do not have to vacate their seats as they did not violate the Anti-Party Hopping law.
“I was one of the committee members of the Anti-Party Hopping Act in Parliament at that time and the purpose of this Act was to prevent another movement like the ‘Sheraton Move’.
“What the six MPs did does not bring down the government, but strengthened it and they never declared to leave the party.
