We’ll accept the decision although it’s wrong

PKR’s Central Leadership Council stresses that Azmin’s appointment is not in accordance with the Selangor state constitution.

PETALING JAYA: PKR’s Central Leadership Council (MPP) today announced that they were sorely disappointed with the process used by the Selangor palace in the appointment of Azmin Ali as Selangor’s new Menteri Besar.

While unanimously giving their deputy president their full endorsement, PKR’s MPP nevertheless felt their president Wan Azizah, who was their sole candidate for the post from the start, was treated unfairly by the Selangor palace.

The MPP was also of the opinion that the appointment of Azmin was not in accordance with the laws as stipulated in the Selangor state constitution but had agreed to put aside their differences with the palace, in the interests of the people of Selangor.

Saying it was their wish that the political crisis in Selangor be resolved quickly and amicably for the sake of the people, the leaders agreed with Wan Azizah that her candidacy be withdrawn despite her enjoying the support of the majority of state assemblypersons.

This being said, the MPP stressed that this process should not be made a precedent for future appointments of the post of MB.
