[superadmin]

PUTRAJAYA – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is confident that MPs from parties in his unity government will support him in a vote of confidence when the Dewan Rakyat convenes next week.

“The leaders of Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional (BN), Gabungan Parti Sarawak, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, Warisan, and several other parties have given their commitment.

“God-willing, we will be able to continue,” he told a press conference in Putrajaya today.

The vote of confidence for Anwar’s leadership of the government is one of the key agendas when the Dewan Rakyat sits for the first session of Parliament’s 15th term on December 19 and 20.

Anwar had called for the motion of confidence to avoid any doubt of support for his leadership in his maiden press conference after becoming prime minister on November 24.

Anwar today was asked if he was confident of passing the motion.
