Umno must choose government or quit if it favours PN, says PKR Youth leader
KUALA LUMPUR: A PKR Youth leader has challenged Umno to either commit to the unity government or relinquish its positions in the government if the party is in favour of Perikatan Nasional.
A PKR Youth deputy chief has urged Umno to either join the unity government or quit, should the party support Perikatan Nasional (PN). Nabil Halimi stated that Umno should not be seen as having a foot in both the government and opposition camps. He challenged Umno ministers and MPs to clearly state their position on whether they want a premature General Election (GE16) to obtain a new mandate from the people.
If they wish to stay in the government, they must accept the responsibility until the mandate is fulfilled. Conversely, if they intend to join PN, they should make that decision and give up their positions in the government. Umno should not be seen as split between the government and opposition, including supporting PN at the state level while retaining positions in the Madani government in Putrajaya, Nabil emphasized in a Facebook post. The people's mandate should not be used as a bargaining chip for political negotiations, he added.
