Dr M announces he is contesting Bersatu chairman post

BY KENNETH TEE

KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today confirmed he will be contesting the chairman post in Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia ahead of the party’s inaugural polls in June.“I, Dr Mahathir, am the party’s founder and No. 1 member. I offer myself to contest the chairman to save Bersatu which has seen several leaders cooperating with kleptocrats and Umno to form a government through the back door.

Bersatu, which is a former founding member of Pakatan Harapan , split into two following the decision of its incumbent president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to take Bersatu out of the coalition on February 24, thus depriving the coalition of the parliamentary majority it needs to govern. This eventually triggered the collapse of the PH government and Muhyiddin was sworn in as Malaysia’s eighth prime minister on March 1.
