In a rare midnight press conference, Perak Mentri Besar Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin told journalists that the sultan had been briefed on the issue of possible by-elections in two recently 'vacant' state seats.
Mohamad Nizar (right) had a 25-minute audience with the Perak sultan at Istana Kinta this morning but declined to speak to reporters after the meeting on what had transpired.
His decision to hastily reveal his discussion with the sultan is possibly aimed to pressure the Election Commission to agreed to the by-elections when it meets tomorrow.
The five-minute press conference was held at about 12 tonight at the MB's official residence.
It is believed that Mohamad Nizar showed the resignation letters of Behrang state assemblyperson Jamaluddin Mat Radzi and Changkat Jering state assemblyperson Osman Jailu to the Perak sultan.
According to him, Sultan Azlan Shah agreed that the present government should continue to rule.
"The response of the sultan is: continue with the current government because we still have the majority."

Very good...I like Sultan Azlan Shah, a wise and fair ruler...I bet the majority likes him too.
