The Dewan Rakyat today had rejected a motion to remove Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, said Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby, she said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia had rejected the motion on the grounds that "it did not fit the Constitution."

"We will see if it the rejection really has grounds," Dr Wan Azizah who is also the Opposition leader said.

When asked if she is going to file another no-confidence vote, she said the focus now is the Sarawak state election.

"We can file another motion, but right now we are concentrating on the Sarawak state election," she said.

She had filed the motion on Feb 21.
