According to a source, Mohamad Zahir will inform the Sultan on today's motion of confidence on Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu.

In today's motion of confidence, the Chenderiang assemblyman failed to garner the confidence of assemblymen when only 10 out of 59 backed the motion during the 14th state legislative assembly sitting.

The motion, which was raised by Pengkalan Baharu assemblyman, Datuk Abdul Manaf Hashim, was supported by Temenggor assemblyman, Salbiah Mohamad and Pasir Pinji assemblyman, Howard Lee Chuan How.

During the voting, only 10 assemblymen supported for the motion, while 48 others voted against it and there was one spoiled vote.

However, it is still unknown if Ahmad Faizal will be seeking an audience with the Sultan today.
