“Alhamdulillah, RoS has approved the amendment application that would allow us to vacate the seats of the six MPs who voiced their support for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.The Machang MP also attached a copy of the amendment approved by the RoS to his Facebook post. In February, two out of the six Bersatu MPs had said they would maintain their support for the prime minister even if their party were to amend its constitution to close the loophole that allowed them to do this without triggering the anti-hopping law.Bukit Gantang MP Datuk Syed Abu Hussain Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal said the move to amend the party constitution simply showed that Bersatu was afraid more of its lawmakers wanted to support the Anwar administration.

At the same time, Srikandi Bersatu vice-chief Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said the party amendment to prevent defections among its elected representatives would not have a retrospective effect on the six Bersatu MPs who shifted their support to the prime minister.
