Newly-minted Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman has insisted the three BN state assemblypersons who had quit to become independents are still Umno members.
"The speaker has not received anything (resignation from Umno) therefore I take it that (their resignation) is not verified yet.
"All of them including (former MB) Ahmad Said are still (Umno members)," he told a press conference after punching in for his first day at work at Wisma Darul Iman.
As such, Razif (right) ruled out using his powers to dissolve the state assembly. "It does not arise," he stressed.
The Terengganu BN government was on the verge of collapseafter Ahmad led a series of defections shortly after he was replaced by Razif as menteri besar.
Ahmad who is Kijal state assemblyperson, together with Ajil state assemblyperson Ghazali Taib and Bukit Besi state assemblyperson Roslee Daud had yesterday quit Umno to become independents.
This prompted a mad scramble to bring the disgruntled representatives back as it left BN with only 14 representatives to Pakatan Rakyat's 15, in addition to the three independents.
However, Roslee had since returned to BN's fold.
