“All official statements pertaining to PAS stand can only come in written form from either party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang or the secretary-general, which is me, ” he toldthat PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man had said that all PAS and Umno MPs have signed an SD in support of Muhyiddin, the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president, as their candidate for prime minister.
He said that PAS and Umno had initially signed a statutory declaration in support of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad continuing as prime minister. “When Dr Mahathir announced his resignation and refused to give positions, Muafakat Nasional signed an SD for Muhyiddin.Tuan Ibrahim's comments come after the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government when Bersatu – which has 26 MPs – pulled out of the coalition and 11 PKR MPs resigned from their party.
Dr Mahathir, who resigned and was then appointed as interim Prime Minister on Monday , on Wednesday in a televised address to the nation said that he hopes to lead a non-partisan administration which prioritises the national interest.The remaining parties in Pakatan – PKR, DAP and Amanah – meanwhile said that they nominated Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as their prime minister candidate after Dr Mahathir failed to turn up for a presidential council meeting on Tuesday .
