Mahathir says Parliament will decide his fate and the fate of any prime ministerial candidate.
As such, Mahathir said the Dewan Rakyat decides his fate and likewise would also decide the fate of any prime ministerial candidate.
"The party is one part of it but it must be from the majority. But even if it is from the majority party but a candidate is rejected by the Dewan Rakyat, he too cannot become prime minister," he said. At present, PKR is the largest party in Parliament with 47 MPs followed by the DAP with 42 MPs, Bersatu with 26 MPs and Amanah with 11 MPs. Harapan's ally Warisan has nine MPs.
However, factional fighting between Anwar and his PKR deputy Mohamed Azmin Ali has raised questions on whether the former can command the support of all 47 PKR MPs.Pressed if he would consider serving out a full term if support for him in the Dewan Rakyat increases, Mahathir merely smiled and said,"I don't know".
