DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has rejected the possibility of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) leaders assuming the posts of chairperson and president of Pakatan Harapan.
"I would not agree that both the chairperson and president (posts) be filled by Bersatu. This is a monopoly and taking control (of the coalition)," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur today.
"We (Harapan) have yet to make a final decision on it (the lineup)," he said, emphasising on the need for a consensus between the member parties.
Lim was responding to reports that Bersatu proposed that its chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad and president Muhyiddin Yassin be appointed as chairperson and president of Harapan as well.
The opposition coalition has to decide on its line-up before submitting an application to register with the Registrar of Societies (ROS).
On those who suggested that Mahathir leads Harapan in the coming general election, Lim said the former premier can be placed as one of the coalition's major leaders together with other top leaders of Harapan.
