She says her husband would likely be Harapan's prime minister candidate, rather than appointing Dr M for a third round in office.
A comeback by federal opposition Pakatan Harapan after its recent downfall will most likely see PKR president Anwar Ibrahim being named as the coalition's candidate for prime minister.said her husband would likely be Harapan's prime minister candidate, rather than appointing former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad for a third round in office.Given the recent turn of events, Wan Azizah said Harapan will be ready for any circumstances, including the possibility of facing snap elections.
Speculations over Anwar's future as Mahathir's successor mounted in the months leading to Harapan's downfall, with a faction within PKR led by its former deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali - who eventually left and backed the new Perikatan Nasional pact - had gone against the idea of a power handover.
Wan Azizah in the interview said it was the people who "feel they didn’t have enough" that contributed to her coalition’s downfall.Asked if she would be open to receiving those who had defected from Harapan, she reportedly said: "Betrayal is quite difficult to accept in any circumstances. Betrayal is still betrayal."
Mahathir had indicated on several occasions that he would fulfill a promise to step down and make way for Anwar by November, while the Port Dickson MP's supporters urged for a May deadline or two years since the last 14th general elections. With the latest developments, Harapan had indicated that their lawmakers would challenge Muhyiddin's appointment in parliament through a vote of no confidence.
