Wan Junaidi: No nomination from Opposition, so election of Deputy Speaker put off

KUALA LUMPUR: The election of the Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker to replace Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said was postponed to avoid a "walkover" by the government, says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

He said this on Monday (Oct 3) after the election to fill the vacancy was postponed for the fifth time since Azalina vacated the post on Aug 23 last year.
