At first, he got PAS and they worked together but that was not enough to form a government. They needed to take Bersatu members and leaders as well," said Mahathir, who was speaking at a community event in Jitra, Kedah. "They wanted me to reject Harapan, but why would I when Harapan backed me? We had a presidential council that backed me. I told Muhyiddin 'one day, I will step down, then you do what you want to do'.
