KUALA LUMPUR: The fall of Mukhriz Mahathir in Kedah is imminent, with at least two Pakatan Harapan assemblymen set to announce they no longer support the menteri besar.
Both men are known to be aligned to Mohamed Azmin Ali, who alongside about a dozen PKR MPs defected from the party last February, ending Pakatan Harapan’s 22-month in federal power. A source close to Azmin’s camp told FMT that today’s move had been delayed many times “out of respect for Tun”, referring to Mukhriz’s father and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
“But things are getting out of hand. It is no longer possible to support him,” the source told FMT last night, adding that Mahathir’s recent statements and “claims of innocence over PH’s downfall” did not help matters.Mukhriz’s fall from power was inevitable, and expressed confidence that the Islamist party would return to power in the state, seven years after its last rule.Any defection by the two assemblymen today would mean Mukhriz no longer has the majority to remain as MB.
