Under anti-hopping Bill, IsmailSabri60 says MPs who leave their party will lose their seat
Kuala Lumpur: . Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said this was because under the Bill, the term “Member of the House of Representatives” refers to membership of a political party regardless of whether said outfit is part of a coalition or not.
Ismail Sabri added that under this new law, any MP who leaves the party with which they won their seat will lose said seat should they decide to defect to another party. He said, however, that there were exceptions to the rule; for example, an MP will not lose their seat if their political party was dissolved or deregistered; if they are elected as Dewan Rakyat Speaker; or if they are sacked by their political party.
