Shafie denies claims several Warisan reps are leaving the party

 

Warisan president Mohd Shafie Apdal today denied a report that has gone viral on social media claiming state assemblypersons from the party were leaving.

"Warisan remains strong and stable. Rumours and talk that state assemblypersons from Warisan are going to leave the party is a malicious attempt of deceit to topple the party," he said in a statement today.

Shafie (above) said Warisan held a supreme council meeting this morning and it was attended by all state assemblypersons from the party.

“All of them had also pledged their undivided loyalty to the party,” he said, adding that all Warisan state assemblypersons and supreme council members also pledged their support to the government and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

In a separate statement, Darau state assemblyperson Azhar Matussin, who is also a Warisan supreme council member, also denied claims that he and six other state assemblypersons would leave the party.

"This is merely a political game to create unrest among party members and confuse the rakyat, especially those from the grassroots.

“We (all Warisan state assemblypersons) are behind the president," he said.
