Dr M's successor will be determined by majority support in Parliament, says Kadir Jasin

PETALING JAYA: The candidate for the eight prime minister succeeding Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will be solely determined by MPs in the 222-seat Dewan Rakyat, says veteran journalist Datuk A. Kadir Jasin (pic).

While noting it was a Pakatan Harapan promise that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will take over as the next prime minister, Kadir pointed out that only the candidate who enjoys the support of the majority of MPs can be sworn in as premier.
