Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak will retain his Pekan MP seat until the completion of his pardon process and review at the Federal Court, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun said.

"Taking into account the application for pardon done before this, and the review filed, Najib's status as the Pekan MP remains unchanged for now, and will only be finalised when both the processes are completed," he said in a statement today.
