Constitutional crisis if Speaker won’t vacate six seats of ex-Bersatu MPs, Wan Saiful says

Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul must declare vacancies for the seats held by six former Bersatu lawmakers who lost their party memberships for insubordination, Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan claimed today. ― Picture by Firdaus LatifKUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul must declare vacancies for the seats held by six former Bersatu lawmakers who lost their party memberships for insubordination, Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan claimed today.

“If this precedent is not honoured or adopted from a standpoint of uniformity, then there could be a a serious constitutional crisis as a result of failure to abide by set precedents.”Earlier today, Mohd Amar declared the Nenggiri seat of Mohd Azizi Abu Naim to have been vacated as of June 13, citing a notice he received the day before that Bersatu has revoked the latter’s membership.

Mohd Azizi is among former Bersatu lawmakers who technically defected by declaring support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s government despite being members of the Opposition party.They were previously able to retain their seats due to the loophole in the constitutional amendment to prohibit political defections by not resigning from Bersatu.
