Exco members should resign if they no longer recognise Tuanku Muhriz, says Loke

DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook has called for Negeri Sembilan executive council members to resign if they no longer acknowledge Tuanku Muhriz as the state's Yang Dipertuan Besar (head of state). The Seremban MP argued that the exco members took their oaths of office before April 19's proclamation confirming Tuanku Muhriz's removal.

Loke asserted that members should resign out of principle and respect, given they lack comprehension of the legal basis and their authority. The Negeri Sembilan executive council released a statement on Tuesday affirming that Tuanku Muhriz's removal was valid, and that Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar is now the ruler. However, the state's opposition party, DKU, maintains that the exco's decision lacks legal standing and that Tuanku Muhriz remains the legitimate head of state.
