Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim met with the country’s king on Tuesday morning and presented documents supporting “strong majority” MPs to form a government. At that time, he said, Prime Minister Muhiuddin Yassin should resign.
Anwar Ibrahim told reporters that he has the support of more than 120 of the 222 members of parliament. It is the first time he has announced the number of deputies since he declared himself a majority last month.
Anwar entered the palace at 10:30 am local time and left the palace an hour later, state news agency Barnama reported.
Anwar said that now King Al-Sultan Abdullah would decide the next step. Muhiuddin should resign as he has lost the majority.
Anwar Ibrahim said: “My call to all political parties is that they give the king the opportunity to work in light of the constitution.”
A new political wave has gripped the country since it announced last month that it had a “strong majority” to form a new government.
Talks about a change of power are underway as the country announces a two-week lockdown in the states of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor in preparation for a second outbreak of the coronavirus, which will take effect from midnight on Monday. Tuesday.
If Anwar Ibrahim is successful, his decades of hard work will pay off. Including 10 years in prison. He could become the third prime minister of Malaysia in a year.
Muhiuddin emerged as the new leader after a week of political unrest in March when several lawmakers from the ruling Pakatan Harpan Alliance left the party. As a result, 95-year-old Mahathir Mohamad had to resign as prime minister.
No major party has yet announced their support for Anwar. Although one party in the ruling coalition says some of its MPs support Anwar.
King Al-Sultan Abdullah of Malaysia played a formal role in this power shift process. You could name someone as prime minister who, in your opinion, would probably lead the majority. Then Anwar must explain to the king that he has this support.
Although the king can dissolve parliament and declare elections with the advice of the prime minister.
