PETALING JAYA: A meeting on Monday (June 15) featuring the top leaders of PKR had unanimously rejected the proposal to nominate Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Pakatan Harapan’s prime minister and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as his deputy, alleges Datuk Seri Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid.
“Yesterday's meeting confirmed. There was a meeting from the ‘majlis tertinggi’ PKR. It totally rejected Dr Mahathir.
Abdullah was responding to a report by Free Malaysia Today, which had quoted an anonymous PKR insider that allegedly, Pakatan would allow Dr Mahathir to serve as premier until the end of 2020, provided a written agreement on a handover to Anwar was made. Pakatan and its allies were expected to arrive at a decision on Tuesday on whether Anwar or Dr Mahathir would be their choice for prime minister, following a meeting last Tuesday .
To perform a successful counter-coup against Perikatan, Pakatan would require a strong majority, as observers have previously said that a razor thin majority would only pave way for another snap polls amid the ongoing Covid-19 economic fallout. However, it was understood that the offer is once again on the table, depending on the outcome of Pakatan’s choice for premiership.
