Describing Barisan Nasional as backstabbers despite being a partner of the governing coalition, Sanusi said BN, especially Umno, was the cause of many disputes.
BN is a greedy coalition partner, demanding posts as ministers and in government companies, he said.
He said there was instability in states where Umno was the major party with a greater number of seats in state assemblies, such as Melaka and Johor.
However, in his home state of Kedah, Umno was different as it was in the minority.
“It’s important therefore that we make sure that BN does not win a lot of seats,” he said after attending a political event in Johor Bahru today. “The formula is, if Umno is not there, we can have stability,” he said, according to Sinar Harian.
Sanusi said Umno had pushed for fresh elections in Johor to show that they had once again won the confidence of the people.
Voters in Johor go to the polls on March 12 to elect 56 members of the state assembly.
