Kedah Menteri Besar may be facing a crisis of no-confidence in his state but thousands turned up [video] at the stadium in Alor Star this evening to show solidarity with him.
They had earlier packed the stadium compound waiting for Muhkriz to arrive, carrying banners urging him to remain as MB and chanting solidarity slogans.
Supporter M Ruslin Abdullah said: "We are not here only to watch football but also to support Muhkriz".
"If Muhkriz is removed, we will be very angry,” he added.
When Muhkriz arrived at 8.30pm, the fans swamped his car with rousing shouts of "Muhkriz! Muhkriz!"
The Jerlun assemblyperson then stepped out of his car to loud cheers [video] and shook hands with the supporters.
His arrival was then greeted with a red flare and he was accompanied [video] to the VIP seating by Jitra assemblyperson Aminuddin Omar and PAS Pokok Sena MP cum state party commissioner Mahfuz Omar.
He was there to attend a friendly match between the Kedah Football Association team and the Sungai Ara FA team from Penang.
Muhkriz is facing a crisis of no-confidence following Kedah Umno deputy chairperson Ahmad Bashah Mohd Hanapiah and 14 Umno division leaders calling for his removal on Jan 19.
The Kedah regency council met with 19 BN assemblypersons today after Prime Minister Najib Razak sought approval to remove Muhkriz.
The state regency council will meet the 15 state opposition assemblypersons tomorrow. -Mkini
