Recall election can only work when supported by all, say Opposition MPs

KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — Bipartisan effort is needed in order for recall elections to be realised in the country, several Opposition MPs said today.

The push for recall elections should not be seen as only supported by Opposition groups and parties but also those that have been affected by defections, said DAP’s Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming.

“I hope that we can get bipartisan support on this initiative because I’m very sure that Umno leaders are also not happy that many of their leaders and MPs crossed over to Bersatu (Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia).

“This should not be seen as something only supported by Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition or other Opposition parties, it should be supported by parties from both political spectrum,” Ong said during the launch of electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0’s recall election campaign today.
