PETALING JAYA: Despite talk of a no-confidence vote being planned against Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad from inside Pakatan Harapan, it will be very tough to get enough MPs to pull off such a move, says a constitutional law expert and several political analysts.

Unlike Parliamentary Bills, which can be passed with only a simple majority of the MPs present in the Dewan Rakyat at the time of voting, a motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister will require an absolute majority, that is, support from at least 112 MPs in the 222-seat Dewan Rakyat.
