According to the Star, the motions are believed to be on the vote of confidence on Pakatan Rakyat's ousted menteri besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as well as the no confidence motion on Barisan Nasional’s menteri besar Zambry Abdul Kadir.

All state representatives, except for Zambry and the six BN executive councillors, are expected to attend.

Zambry and the six were suspended by Sivakumar for a period of 18 months and 12 months respectively on the grounds that they had acted in contempt of the state assembly.

Perak has been turmoil since BN seized control of the state following the defection of four Pakatan Rakyat representatives.

Three declared themselves as 'BN-friendly' independents while the other had rejoined Umno.
