Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad believed that Anwar Ibrahim will not seek any government position in the near term because his party had made this clear.
"Actually (PKR Secretary-general) Saifuddin Nasution has made a statement that when Anwar wins, not if he wins but when he wins, he will not seek a position in the government.
"He is not asking a minister position in the government. I take it that it is a consent from Anwar that he (Saifuddin) said this," Mahathir said in a press conference at Bersatu headquarters at Petaling Jaya.
