KOTA KINABALU: Parti Warisan Sabah will be taking urgent legal steps to compel the Sabah Assembly Speaker to accept Sebatik state assemblyman Hassan Gani Amir’s pre-signed resignation and declare the seat vacant.
Warisan secretary-general Datuk Loretto Padua said party lawyers have documents that clearly indicate Hassan’s agreement to resign in the event he leaves the party.
He said Hassan had also willingly signed a letter of allegiance to Warisan.
“Warisan is saddened by the Speaker's decision to not accept Hassan's pre-signed resignation and will take steps to get legal recourse immediately.
"The party will take urgent legal steps to compel the Sabah Assembly Speaker to accept Hassan’s resignation and declare the seat vacant," he said in a statement here on Wednesday (March 3).
