PKR denies Tengku Adnan's claims
- 9 years ago
PKR Youth claimed today that up to 16 Barisan Nasional parliamentarians are ready to hop over to the opposition coalition.
"We have up to 15 to 16 MPs from BN, including Umno MPs, who want to join PKR," party's Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohamad Akin said at a press conference today.
Shamsul denied that PKR was offering money to buy over the parliamentarians.
Far from encouraging them to defect, he said that the MPs had voluntarily held talks with PKR to discuss crossing over.
"They have come and met (PKR de facto leader) Anwar Ibrahim because they have lost faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. They are not crossing over for monetary gains," he said.
