2020 Malaysian political crisis: Difference between revisions

Four states; Johor, Malacca, Perak and Kedah also experienced changes in the respective state governments as Perikatan Nasional gained majorities in the state legislative assemblies.{{Quote|During the meeting, I had asked YAB Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad not to resign. However, he was firm in his own decision. As such, I am responsible for appointing a new Prime Minister as required by the Federal Constitution. On February 25 and 26, I held a one-on-one meeting with all members of the House of Representatives to self-assess their support. On February 29, I convened all political parties with representatives of the House of Representatives to nominate a member of the House of Representatives as the next Prime Minister. At the request of several political leaders, I am also agreed to extend the time period for political parties to submit their nominations so that sufficient time is given for them to make democratic calculations. Therefore, after going through all these processes; and in accordance with the Federal Constitution; I found that YB Tan Sri Muhyiddin bin Haji Yassin has gained the confidence of the majority of the members of the House of Representatives and has thus been appointed the eighth Prime Minister. In fact, I had established a trust that is transparent and just in accordance with the concept of the Constitution and Parliamentary Democracy which is the backbone of our country's practice.|Abdullah Ahmad of Pahang, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia}}
