PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has reached a consensus with DAP over the Selangor mentri besar and will meet PAS leaders next.
Speaking to the press after attending DAP's central executive committee meeting today held to discuss issues surrounding the MB, Anwar expressed his gratitude to DAP and said both parties have arrived at a consensus on the issue.
He said he will meet PAS president Hadi Awang and the Islamic party's leadership soon.
Anwar said the Selangor mentri besar crisis has to be promptly resolved to enable the state government to fuction effectively.
"This has to be resolved fast so the state can function effectively," he said.
Therefore he urged Khalid to respect the decision of the majority as he has lost their confidence.
At the meeting today, DAP also celebrated the opposition leader's 67th birthday with a cake-cutting.
'Need to move on'
PKR expelled Khalid yesterday for defying the party's decision to replace him as MB.
Khalid, who claimed sabotage by the party leadership, has described the decision to sack him as illegal and flawed.
He vowed to stay on as menteri besar until the issue resolves through proper procedures and conventions, particularly in accordance with the Selangor constitution.
Meanwhile when asked if Pakatan state executive councillors will resign en bloc from Khalid's state government, Anwar said, "Our position is very clear, we have to move on. I'll have to discuss with DAP and PAS."
DAP, that has claimed it will no longer acknowledge and work with a non-Pakatan MB, is considering having its three exco members resign.
