is most likely to lead the country instead of former leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad if the Opposition coalition returns to power, according to a top leader in the bloc.
Anwar has waited in the wings for nearly two years for Dr Mahathir to fulfil a campaign pledge to eventually name him prime minister. The former premier said he plans to call a confidence vote against Muhyiddin as soon as Parliament convenes, which is now set for May 18. The following Monday, Dr Mahathir abruptly resigned as he said he had lost the support of his own Bersatu party, which saw a few of its lawmakers joining hands with those on the other side of the aisle.
Yet as Muhyiddin garnered support, including from the Barisan Nasional coalition that’s allegedly been linked to corruption scandals, the alliance backing Anwar turned to Dr Mahathir for help in gaining the number of seats needed to form a government.
