Shafie as PM and Anwar, Mukhriz as DPMs backed by Amanah, DAP leaders - Dr M

The proposal for Warisan president Shafie Apdal to become prime minister if Pakatan Harapan and its allies can regain federal power has the backing of Amanah, DAP and Warisan leaders, claims disputed Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Mahathir said the decision was arrived at following a meeting between his Bersatu faction and Amanah, Warisan and DAP where it was also agreed that PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and disputed Bersatu deputy president Mukhriz Mahathir would fill two deputy prime minister positions.

"In the meeting, I was open to any proposal including if I am not to be nominated as the prime ministerial candidate. Among the proposals presented was for Shafie Apdal to become the prime minister.

"We unanimously agreed for Shafie to be named as the prime ministerial candidate. I fully support this proposal. What is important is for us to have a firm stance so that the people know about it," he said.
