PKR president Anwar Ibrahim is expected to meet Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad this morning, following the alleged manoeuvre to form a 'backdoor' government that would scupper the agreed-upon transition plan between the two leaders.
"Anwar will meet Mahathir at the Prime Minister's Office in Putrajaya by 9.30am," a PKR leader told Malaysiakini.
However, the source said, it is not known what both leaders will discuss.
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng was also been spotted entering Perdana Putra at around 9.36am.
It is reported that Anwar is set to have an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong this afternoon.
Yesterday, Gombak MP Azmin Ali's faction in PKR, along with leaders of Bersatu, Umno, PAS, GPS and Warisan, met with the Agong.
Anwar had described the current political manoeuvring involving his deputy Azmin Ali, Bersatu, Umno, PAS, GPS and Warisan as a betrayal.
The PKR president conceded that efforts were underway to form a new government and he believes it will materialise as soon as tomorrow.
Earlier yesterday, Bersatu leaders met with Mahathir at the party headquarters, while Azmin's faction gathered at Sheraton PJ.
Umno held a supreme council meeting at Menara Dato Onn, while Sarawak's GPS coalition met at Ritz-Carlton and was later joined by Sabah's Warisan.
The leaders from these six parties later gathered at Sheraton PJ.
MIC president SA Vigneswaran told the media that Bersatu may quit Harapan while Azmin had quit PKR. This was not confirmed by Azmin.
There has been no official announcement from Mahathir or any party on the matter as of this morning.
Mahathir himself only appeared at the Bersatu meeting but was not present at the Istana and Sheraton PJ.
In a statement this morning, PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil urged Malaysians, especially PKR members, to be calm, patient and to always abide by the laws.
The Lembah Pantai parliamentarian cautioned them against spreading untrue information as news, rumours and speculation on the status of the Harapan government are being circulated. - Mkini
