Lim Kit Siang says there is no other way to resolve the political impasse in Terengganu except to hold a fresh election.KUALA LUMPUR: Three possible scenarios can happen from the Terengganu political crisis with no effective solution in two of them, DAP national adviser Lim Kit Siang said today.
Lim said in the first scenario the new menteri besar, Ahmad Razif, conceding that he had lost the majority in the state assembly and the mandate given to him to form a new state government.
“Second, the possibility of Pakatan Rakyat forming the state government. Pakatan Rakyat now has 15 seats compared with Barisan Nasional’s 14.
“Third, is to have elections to decide the political future of the state. There is no solution in the first two and a state election is needed to resolve the impasse,” he added.
The standoff came after three Umno assemblymen from Terengganu, including former Menteri Besar Ahmad Said, declared themselves independents just a day after Razif was sworn in as menteri besar.
“With the resignation of Ahmad Said, Ghazali Taib and Roslee Daud, from Umno, there is no political party with a working majority,” said Lim.
The number of BN assemblymen had dropped from 17 to 14 and the opposition had 15 members in the state legislative assembly.
