PKR has been adamant in submitting only the name of its president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to replace Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim for the Selangor Mentri Besar.
Dr Mahathir also hit out at the Opposition, saying the people and the palace will not accept someone who will take orders from others or a "remote-controlled MB."
"You cannot annoy people and expect the person to co-operate with you. Not just with the Sultan but everyone is busy bickering with everybody," he said.
On another matter, Dr Mahathir reiterated that he never asked for the resignation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
"I only said that if they decide to appoint me as Prime Minister, I will resign. I am not supporting anybody," he said.
