Nazri urges BN to resist pressure to quit unity government

Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has called on Barisan Nasional to stand firm against internal pressure pushing the coalition to exit the unity government, emphasising the need to uphold the Agong's authority in the matter.

The former Umno member of the executive council noted that the continued cooperation within the current government structure depends on BN honouring the royal directive. He cautioned against allowing dissenting voices within the coalition to derail the partnership.

The warning comes as various factions have periodically questioned BN's participation in the unity government arrangement, raising concerns about the coalition's long-term commitment to the power-sharing arrangement.

Nazri stressed that maintaining the government's stability is crucial for the nation's continuity and development. He urged coalition members to respect the constitutional framework that has guided the current political arrangement and to focus on delivering for the Malaysian people.

The push for BN to maintain its role in the unity government is expected to continue until the next general election, scheduled for 2025 at the latest.
