PUTRAJAYA: A snap election may take place if the Dewan Rakyat, which will have a special sitting on March 2, fails to determine which prime minister candidate has a clear majority support, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The interim prime minister, who had an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong earlier yesterday, said the King had one-to-one interviews with all Members of Parliament (MPs).
