Azmin slams 'someone crazy for power' as talk of counter coup gathers steam

Malaysiakini

Speculation is rife that Pakatan Harapan has the numbers to challenge the legitimacy of the nascent Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, which came into power following a political coup.
However, Senior Minister Azmin Ali, who played a key role in the collapse of the previous government, claimed to be in the dark that Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Harapan and Warisan have 129 MPs on their side.
Speaking in Alor Star, Kedah, he said the focus should be on the rakyat as opposed to dragging the nation into another political crisis.
"We should not be dragged into another political crisis and made victims just because someone is crazy for power and wants to be prime minister," he told a press conference.
Although he did not mention names, it is believed that Azmin's remarks were aimed at his estranged former party boss, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.
The minister also claimed that PN should not be blamed for the change of government because Harapan's 22-month reign ended when Mahathir resigned as prime minister.
He said the Yang di- Pertuan Agong's decree was clear that the political crisis occurred due to Mahathir stepping down.
"Although the Agong asked Mahathir to remain as PM, Mahathir insisted on resigning," he added.
Since the resignation left the prime minister's post vacant, Azmin said the ruler exercised his responsibility in accordance with the Federal Constitution to appoint a replacement.
"His Majesty carried out his duty in an open, transparent and honest manner. The Agong has the power to appoint a PM who has the support of the majority in Parliament.
"His Majesty was satisfied that (Bersatu president) Muhyiddin (Yassin) had the majority," he said, adding that Agong's appointment of Muhyiddin was "final".
Based on the Dewan Rakyat sitting on May 18, it was established that Muhyiddin has a wafer-thin two-seat majority
Bersatu is also fractured with two factions – one aligned to Muhyiddin and the other loyal to Mahathir as well as Harapan – jostling for power.
Mahathir is the party's chairperson while his son Mukhriz is deputy president.
Harapan's demise was set in motion after Azmin and his allies quit PKR. Subsequently, Muhyiddin withdrew Bersatu from the coalition.
Muhyiddin, who was sworn in as prime minister on March 2, formed the PN alliance with BN, PAS and others. The alliance is also backed by the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). - Mkini
