CAMERON POLLS | Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has dismissed Annuar Musa's diagnosis that “deep within his heart” Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad wants BN to win the Cameron Highlands by-election.
Though she found the Umno secretary-general's claim intriguing, the deputy prime minister said it was not true.
Furthermore, Wan Azizah said Mahathir would be joining Pakatan Harapan's campaign on Friday, a day before the ballots are cast.
“Of course, the opposition will make such stories. It sounds intriguing but it is not true.
“[...] The PM will come back from (his) overseas trip [...] and campaign on Friday,” she told a press conference after campaigning in the PAS stronghold of Kampung Keledek in Jelai this afternoon.
During a ceramah in Cameron Highlands over the weekend, Annuar claimed that Mahathir was hoping that BN would retain the parliament seat.
He also alleged that the premier was frustrated with how DAP was treating him.
"When Mahathir called on Umno leaders to dissolve the party and join his party (Bersatu), he (Mahathir) said he was trapped and could no longer deal with what DAP was doing to him.
"Therefore, I can safely say that deep in his heart, Mahathir wants the BN candidate to win in Cameron Highlands," he added.
Harapan is fielding DAP's M Manogaran against BN's Ramli Mohd Nor in the Jan 26 by-election. Two independents, Sallehudin Ab Talib and Wong Seng Yee, are also contesting.
