Still at loggerheads over who to nominate as PM


Stronger together: One source said whatever the situation, both Dr Mahathir and Anwar would need each other’s support.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Harapan leaders are still at loggerheads with no decision yet over whether to nominate Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim or Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the prime minister should the coalition return to power.

The leaders of the coalition, comprising PKR, DAP and Amanah, and their allies Parti Warisan Sabah and a few former Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia leaders, were still intensely negotiating whether to allow Dr Mahathir to return as the premier.
