The ruling brings into question the status of four assemblymen – Zulkifli Ibrahim (Sungai Acheh), Afif Bahardin (Seberang Jaya), Khaliq Mehtab Mohd Ishaq (Bertam) and Zolkifly Md Lazim (Telok Bahang).Zulkifli and Afif were elected on PKR tickets but joined Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) while the other two are with Bersatu, which left the Pakatan Harapan coalition after the Sheraton move.
