He questions if it is instead linked to speculation on attempts to form a “backdoor” government.
PKR lawmaker Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has questioned Pas’ motivation to move a"vote of confidence" in Parliament for Dr Mahathir Mohamad to serve out his full term as prime minister.
Currently, Pakatan Harapan holds 129 seats in Parliament while its ally Warisan holds nine and the United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation holds one. He questioned if the confidence vote was instead linked to speculation on attempts to form a “backdoor” government at the expense of PKR president and prime minister-in-waiting Anwar Ibrahim.
“PAS’ stand in supporting Mahathir has its basis, including prioritising the wellbeing of the country and its people. “Worrying still, when there are certain quarters in government who are exerting pressure to expedite the transition of power,” he said.earlier this month that it would move a motion of confidence on Mahathir to end uncertainties over the promised transfer of power between Mahathir and Anwar.
