Harapan falls in Perak, MB backs PN

Perak Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu has announced that the state Bersatu, Umno and PAS have agreed to form a new ruling coalition.

In a press conference in Ipoh this morning, Faizal said PKR assemblyperson for Kuala Kurau and state exco Abdul Yunus Jamahri as well as former Umno assemblyperson Nolee Ashilin Mohammed Radzi, who served as an independent lawmaker, have joined Bersatu.

This is the third state government to fall to Perikatan Nasional (PN) following the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan federal government on Feb 24.
