Najib: PM must step down if he loses majority support


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Constitution does not state the need for another lawmaker to prove that he has majority support for the sitting Prime Minister to step down, says Datuk Seri Najib Razak (pic).

The former prime minister pointed out that according to Article 43 (4) of the Federal Constitution, if the Prime Minister no longer enjoys majority support from members of the Dewan Rakyat, he is to step down unless he requests that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong dissolves the Parliament.
