The Island Sun newspaper on Tuesday reported government insiders saying a senior minister was linked to a plot to overthrow Mr Hou, who became Prime Minister in November.
The Kadere Party Group, which is the coalition's second biggest party, strongly condemned the article in a statement, saying Mr Hou continues to have the party's full support.
The party's general secretary, Robert Chris, said with a year before the next election, there was no time for politicking.
