KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be informing all state governments to amend their respective state constitutions in line with the Constitution (Amendment) Bill (No. 3) on the provisions that prohibits Members of Parliament from switching parties.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said this when winding up the debate on the Bill at Dewan Negara Tuesday .

The Constitution Bill 2022 obtained the support of 52 of 60 Senators after two bloc votes, which is more than two-thirds of Dewan Negara. Earlier during the debate session, members of Dewan Negara described the Bill as able to restore people's confidence in the country's parliamentary democracy system.

"This Bill can give confidence to the people and voters because the people will be more confident in the existence of a government that is protected from turmoil due to MPs switching parties. He said the Bill can be gazetted immediately before GE15 to ensure that switching parties does not happen again.
