Tonight, Azmin Ali is having a meeting with 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament at his house in Precint 10, Putrajaya. If Azmin can get the support of these 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament, and combined with the pro-Mahathir group in Pakatan Harapan, any attempt to oust Mahathir and replace him with Anwar will fail.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
On Friday night, the eve of the Tanjung Piai by-election, the pro-Anwar Ibrahim group met to discus what to do after the by-election to force Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to resign and hand power to Anwar.
They had already expected to lose the by-election by a majority of about 7,000 votes.
The pro-Mahathir group also expected to lose the by-election but they had forecasted to lose by a majority of only 2,000 votes. So the 15,000-vote majority came as a shock to both the pro-Anwar and pro-Mahathir camp.
Yesterday, the Otai Reformasi gang decided that the campaign to force Mahathir to resign will be launched, using the Tanjung Piai by-election as the excuse to force Mahathir to resign and hand power to Anwar (READ HERE: Is the Tanjung Piai by-election Mahathir’s demise?).
Tonight, Azmin Ali is having a meeting with 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament at his house in Precint 10, Putrajaya. If Azmin can get the support of these 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament, and combined with the pro-Mahathir group in Pakatan Harapan, any attempt to oust Mahathir and replace him with Anwar will fail.
Let us see whether these 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament will agree to support Mahathir against Anwar in the Mahathir-Anwar power-struggle for the post of Prime Minister of Malaysia.
