PETALING JAYA: Parties which formed the previous Perikatan Nasional government have submitted the statutory declarations (SDs) from their MPs on their choice of candidate for the next prime minister.

The SDs from Barisan Nasional MPs were submitted to Istana Negara on Tuesday night after party leaders ended their meeting at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur just before midnight, said a source.
