KUCHING: A new premier cannot be constitutionally appointed while there is a sitting prime minister, says a senior Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) lawmaker.

Santubong MP Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said Article 43 of the Federal Constitution was designed to give the sitting prime minister a certain amount of protection from being summarily removed by anyone.
