Wan Muhamad Noor Matha said on Thursday that he had to postpone Friday's vote because the court had yet to rule on Mr Pita's renomination rejection. "The court has yet to rule on the complaints about the prime ministerial vote and a request (by the Ombudsman) to postpone the next vote for prime minister," Mr Wan said. They sought a court order for the parliament to put off its vote for prime minister pending its ruling. In a joint sitting of the House and the Senate on July 13, Mr Pita did not receive a majority vote to become the prime minister.
