WATCH: Mesyuarat ‘tergempar’ MKT semalam bukti kem Zahid cemas, masalah serius pucuk pimpinan bersama MP
The deputy president of PAS has rebuffed a call to wait until the next general election for a change of government, saying the Federal Constitution allows for “various ways” to form a government.
Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said a change of government could take place when a party in power loses its parliamentary majority.
“It will lose power either through a vote of no confidence or when part of the party withdraws its support. This situation is clearly not in conflict with the constitution. This means that there is no need to wait for a general election,” he reportedly said.
TTF: The rumour mills have been grinding out sensational grist regarding a potential change of government in the very near future, and Tuan Ibrahim’s statement fuels speculation that PAS may indeed be forming the next government.
PETALING JAYA: The deputy president of PAS has rebuffed a call to wait until the next general election for a change of government, saying the Federal Constitution allows for “various ways” to form a government.

“It will lose power either through a vote of no confidence or when part of the party withdraws its support. This situation is clearly not in conflict with the constitution. This means that there is no need to wait for a general election,” he told FMT.
Tuan Ibrahim’s comments were a rebuttal of a call by Amanah president Mohamad Sabu that those seeking a change of government should start campaigning now for the next general election.
Mohamad said the country was not prepared for another political crisis like the one sparked by the Sheraton Move in 2020, when the Pakatan Harapan government fell after Bersatu left the coalition to form a new government in alliance with some MPs from Barisan Nasional.
PAS partnered with UMNO (led by Zahid Hamidi) and Bersatu (led by Muhyiddin Yassin) in the new government formed after the Sheraton Move and the subsequent government formed by UMNO’s Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
