KOTA KINABALU: Independent Kudat MP Verdon Bahanda today confirmed his support for the unity government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
He said he respected the decree of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah who appointed Anwar as the country’s 10th prime minister.
“Thank you so much to the people of the Kudat parliamentary constituency for your trust in me in the general election (GE15). As I promised during my campaign, Kudat will continue to support the government.
“This is for the good of the parliamentary constituency so that we are not left behind in development as well as to make this constituency great and be on par with other areas,” he said in a statement today.
Verdon said he met Anwar in Putrajaya yesterday together with Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) president Peter Anthony, deputy president Wetrom Bahanda, who is also the Kota Marudu MP, and Tenom MP Riduan Rubin, who is also an independent MP.
On Thursday, Peter was reported to have said that KDM respected the King’s request for a unity government to be established for the sake of national stability and the well-being of Malaysians.
During the nomination of candidates on Nov 5, Riduan stood for the Tenom seat as an independent candidate. On Nov 11, Peter confirmed that Riduan had joined KDM.
