The proposal for Warisan president Shafie Apdal to become prime minister if Pakatan Harapan and its allies can regain federal power has the backing of Amanah, DAP and Warisan leaders, claims disputed Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Mahathir said the decision was arrived at following a meeting between his Bersatu faction and Amanah, Warisan and DAP where it was also agreed that PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and disputed Bersatu deputy president Mukhriz Mahathir would fill two deputy prime minister positions.
