The Umno Supreme Council (MT) will hold a meeting this Thursday to discuss the political crisis in Malacca, its secretary-general Ahmad Maslan announced.
“State Umno liaison committee chairperson Ab Rauf Yusof together with (outgoing) Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali will present to the MT all recommendations and measures on what must be done after this.
"Of course, the president (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) and deputy president (Mohamad Hasan), as well as the Prime Minister (Ismail Sabri Yaakob) will give their views on the political situation in Malacca," Ahmad (above) told reporters after a meeting with Malacca Umno Liaison Committee leaders in Klebang last night.
Malacca State Legislative Assembly Speaker Ab Rauf Yusoh had on Oct 5 reportedly said that Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Rustam had considered and decided to dissolve the state assembly on Oct 4, thus making way for a state election.
This came after four state assemblypersons Idris Haron (BN-Sungai Udang), Nor Azman Hassan (BN-Pantai Kundor), Norhizam Hassan Baktee (Independent-Pengkalan Batu) and Noor Effandi Ahmad (Bersatu-Telok Mas) declared that they have lost confidence in Sulaiman and were withdrawing their support.
Earlier the Barisan Nasional-led Malacca government was represented by 17 assemblypersons, comprising 14 from UMNO, two from Bersatu and one BN-friendly Independent, while the Opposition held 11 seats, namely seven by DAP, and two each by PKR and Amanah, respectively.
Asked about the number of seats to be contested and the candidates contesting, Ahmad said the matter was still being discussed and has not been finalised yet.
