Loke calls for PH presidential council meeting after Zahid’s remarks
The DAP secretary-general says the meeting is necessary as component parties in the unity government appear to be heading in different directions.
DAP Secretary-General Loke Siew Fook called for a Pakatan Harapan presidential council meeting after Umno President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's remarks. The meeting aims to address concerns over political certainty due to differing directions among component parties of the unity government. Loke, who also serves as transport minister, stated that recent statements made by various parties are not favorable for the country's political stability and investor confidence.
At the Umno general assembly last week, Zahid criticized Anwar, claiming Umno could govern better than the prime minister and challenged the coalition's critics to remove Umno and BN from the unity government, including tabling a no-confidence motion against Anwar in the Dewan Rakyat. Despite agreeing to form the unity government at the 2022 general election advice, Umno and BN remain free to pursue their own political agendas, including the upcoming Melaka state election.
However, Umno reaffirmed its commitment to stay with the current administration until its term concludes.
