Perak PH leaders in Istana Kinta for audience with Sultan Nazrin

IPOH:Three Pakatan Harapan leaders arrived at Istana Kinta here today for an audience with Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah following the latest political crisis in the state.

Perak DAP chairman Nga Kor Ming was the first to arrive at 10.40 am, followed by State PKR chairman Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak and Perak Amanah chairman Datuk Asmuni Awi shortly after.

Yesterday, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu failed to get majority support in a vote of confidence at the State Assembly.

Only 10 Assemblymen supported him, 48 did not support while another abstained after a written vote was conducted on a motion submitted by Datuk Abd Manap Hashim (BN-Pengkalan Bharu) to prove that Ahmad Faizal still had the confidence and majority support of the State Assembly to lead the state government as Perak Menteri Besar.

Perak has 59 assemblymen comprising 25 from Barisan Nasional, Bersatu (four), PAS (three), DAP (16), PKR (three), Amanah (five), Gerakan (one) and Independent (two).
