Rafizi dismisses claims unity govt will fall after state polls
Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli says the unity government would not fall if Perikatan Nasional sweeps the six state polls. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, June 20, 2023.
IT would be “numerically” difficult for the unity government to fall after the state elections, as claimed by certain quarters, Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said today. “Logically, how can that happen after the state elections? A vote of no confidence is not going to take place, you cannot switch parties , and if the largest bloc exits the unity government, the government stays, and it is numerically difficult,” he told the media after an engagement session between the Economy Ministry and the Federal Territories Department in Putrajaya today.
Razifi, who is also PKR deputy president, was responding to PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man’s statement that the state elections could cause a rift in the unity government if Perikatan Nasional wins in five of the six states. On seat distribution talks between Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional, Rafizi said negotiations are almost over, with 98% of seat allocations finalised.
“There are a few overlapping claims, which will be resolved later,” he said. – Bernama, June 20, 2023.
