KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) still commands majority support from the MPs despite Umno’s exit from Perikatan Nasional (PN), the party’s deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu said today. 

The Tambun MP was reported saying by The Star that the party has not been shaken by Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announcement last night.

Ahmad Faizal pointed out that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was appointed as prime minister based on the support of the MPs, and not parties. Thus, Umno retracting its support did not carry much weight. 

“Perikatan, namely Bersatu, is not shaken by the statement of the Umno president last night.
