Support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim
On 8 November 2023, Zahari, the Jeli MP of the PN opposition coalition, declared his support for the government and leadership of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. His support for Anwar and his government strengthened the two-thirds majority support in the Dewan Rakyat they commanded by increasing the MPs supporting his government from 150 to 151. He is the fourth opposition MP to do so after Kuala Kangsar MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid, Labuan MP Suhaili Abdul Rahman and Gua Musang MP Mohd Azizi Abu Naim.
