The Two assemblypersons who sparked the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan-led Kedah government have joined Bersatu.
Lunas assemblyperson Azman Nasrudin (above, left) and Sidam assemblyperson Dr Robert Ling Kui Ee, who in March quit PKR to become Perikatan Nasional (PN)-friendly representatives, said they were following International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali's footsteps.
"Robert and I are officially Bersatu assemblypersons," Azman was quoted as saying by Astro Awani.
Azmin formally joined Bersatu on Aug 22.
The Gombak MP had led nine others to defect from PKR in late February to join forces with Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin who pulled his party out of Harapan, leading to the change of the federal government.
Muhyiddin was later sworn in as the new prime minister with the backing of BN, PAS, GPS, PBS and Star.
However, then Kedah menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir had insisted on maintaining the Harapan government at the state level.
The state government collapsed after the two PKR assemblypersons quit the party to back Muhyiddin's new PN coalition, causing Mukhriz to lose his majority in the state assembly. - Mkini
