It's PKR's turn to score today! Earlier, Khalid's team claimed 30. Today, it's PKR turn to claim 30. This will definitely be a blow to Khalid. Two PAS assemblymen has come out in support for Wan Azizah.
If indeed Khalid has lost the majority support, he will need to step down. However, it also depends on how he wants to do it. Go in a quiet way by resigning, or go with a bang. If Khalid proposes to dissolve the state assembly and the Sultan agrees, then the people of Selangor get to vote again.
Show's over so soon?
