"The anti-hopping Bill will be tabled at another special sitting," said de facto law minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and PKR leader Datuk Saifuddin Nasution in a joint statement.
Wan Junaidi added that the government and the PH coalition had reached a consensus on a number of actions related to laws restraining MPs from jumping parties.
Among the items agreed upon by both parties are to support to the amendments to Article 10 under the Federal Constitution and a preliminary draft will be distributed a steering committee on transformation and political stability before a special session was held on April 11.
He said the April 11 sitting will see the tabling of Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2022.
Yesterday, the government the anti-hopping laws will not be tabled on April 11, causing a backlash from all political parties, including Umno.
Umno President Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had asked Putrajaya if there are "enemies within" for the deferment.
