‘Anwar can only get 96 MPs max’


PETALING JAYA: PKR is sticking to its stand of only having Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the Opposition’s choice for prime minister despite coalition partners DAP and Parti Amanah Negara pointing out that Anwar does not have sufficient support to be the choice for Pakatan Harapan Plus.

This impasse came about because PKR president Anwar managed to only get a maximum of 96 MPs to support him to be the PM and failed to get the backing of Gagasan Parti Sarawak (GSP), claimed DAP and Amanah in a statement yesterday.
