Kelantan Umno says PM must resign to resolve political impasse

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Umno Kelantan has taken a firm stand in asking Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to resign, further expressing unhappiness over the government’s move not to seek consent from the King before revoking the emergency ordinances (EOs).

State Umno chief Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub said they will defend the King in accordance with the principles and goals as specified under the party’s constitution.

He said the failure to follow the King’s decree is tantamount to a form of rebellion, which has even led to the King issuing a statement to explain the chronology of events to “justify his position to the prime minister”.

Ahmad Jazlan was referring to the July 26 Palace statement that the government did not seek consent to revoke the emergency ordinances.

On July 29, the Prime Minister’s Office insisted that the ordinances were revoked according to the Federal Constitution.
