PETALING JAYA: The Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat and the state assemblies have the power to determine whether the seven rogue Bersatu elected representatives will have to vacate their seats based on their interpretation of the phrase “ceased to be party members”, say constitutional experts.
The phrase is in the notice sent by Bersatu to the Dewan Rakyat Speaker after the six MPs and a Selangor assemblyman ceased to be members after they did not respond to a directive to pledge their loyalty to the party by May 31.
