PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says the suggestion for Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir to be made the candidate for the deputy prime minister (II) post did not come from him.

The ex-prime minister said the nomination for his son for the position had already been mentioned earlier in a statement together with Amanah president Mohamad bin Sabu and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng on June 22.
