Penang assembly approves motion to declare 4 seats vacant


Malaysiakini : The Penang state assembly has approved a motion to declare four Perikatan Nasional-held seats vacant.

The representatives of the four seats - Afif Bahardin (Seberang Jaya), Zulkifli Ibrahim (Sungai Aceh), Khalid Mehtab Mohd Ishaq (Bertam), and Zolkifly Md Lazim (Teluk Bahang) - contested under Pakatan Harapan in the 2018 general election.

Two of them, Afif and Zulkifli, were from PKR but later joined Bersatu. Khaliq and Zolkifly are from Bersatu but the party exited Harapan in 2020.

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow earlier said the motion was tabled following a Federal Court ruling that Article 14A in the Penang constitution against party-hopping passed in 2012 is valid and consistent with the Federal Constitution.
