Bersatu backs two Pahang reps' support for Wan Rosdy

KUALA LUMPUR: The Bersatu political party has endorsed the decision of two of its Pahang state assemblymen to back Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, according to Ahmad Faizal Azumu, the party vice-president. During a discussion at the Bersatu Political Bureau, chaired by party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the matter was examined thoroughly, and the party's stance in principle supports the move.

The memorandum of understanding signed by Menteri Besar and the assemblymen, Kuala Sentul's Datuk Jasri Jamaluddin and Lepar's Mohd Yazid Mohd Yunus, was presented to the party leadership, who have now made the final decision. The decision aims to maintain political stability in Pahang and ensure the well-being of the people in both constituencies is prioritized by the state government.

Both Jasri and Yazid have pledged their support for Wan Rosdy's administration until the 16th state election. The 42-member Pahang Legislative Assembly is evenly split between the Barisan Nasional (BN) and the Pakatan Rakyat (PN) coalition, with PN holding 17 seats, which include 15 from the Pas party and the two Bersatu representatives, Jasri and Yazid.
