Malaysian ex-ministers resign from Anwar’s party, snap election rumoured

Two prominent former Malaysian ministers, Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, have announced they will resign from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's ruling coalition party and vacate their parliamentary seats. They intend to join and take over a small party. This move comes after they previously resigned from the cabinet last year following internal party election losses. The article suggests this development could challenge Anwar, particularly amidst rumors of an early general election. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated he would consider calling a snap election if ongoing undermining of relationships within the unity government persists. The next general election is constitutionally due in 2028, but some lawmakers have suggested it could be held as early as July.
