In the first letter, Zahid informed the King that he wished to present several statutory declarations (SDs) from Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs who had decided to withdraw support for Muhyiddin Yassin as prime minister with immediate effect.

He said this was in line with the Umno Supreme Council’s decision on July 7.

In the second letter, Zahid expressed his wish to present additional SDs from more BN MPs, withdrawing its support for the Perikatan Nasional-led (PN) government.

“These additional SDs are an extension to my previous letter, which mentioned that more SDs would follow,” he wrote.

He also wrote that a total of 14 MPs had signed SDs to withdraw support for PN and Muhyiddin so far, attaching proof of each signed document.

According to Zahid, none of these MPs have since retracted their SDs to the King and that all SDs were legitimate.

The names of the 14 BN MPs are as follows: Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (Bagan Datuk), Najib Razak (Pekan), Ahmad Maslan (Pontian), Shamsul Anuar Nasarah (Lenggong), Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim (Baling), Azalina Othman Said (Pengerang), Bung Moktar Radin (Kinabatangan), Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub (Machang), Mohd Nizar Zakaria (Parit), Ahmad Nazlan Idris (Jerantut), Ramli Mohd Nor (Cameron Highlands), Mohamad Alamin (Kimanis)
Noh Omar (Tanjung Karang) and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (Gua Musang).
