PETALING JAYA: No Barisan Nasional MP has backed Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin for the prime minister’s post, says BN secretary-general Zambry Abd Kadir.
Zambry said the coalition is also open to discussions with any party to ensure that a government can be formed for the sake of the country.
“With this, BN is asking all parties to cool off amid the current political situation,” he said.
Earlier today, Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the BN Supreme Council has decided that it will not back anyone to form the government and will remain in the opposition.
Yesterday, PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim confirmed that they were in talks with BN to form the government.
PN also said it has submitted statutory declarations from 113 MPs to Istana Negara backing Muhyiddin as the next prime minister, after the general election on Saturday ended in a hung Parliament.
Speaking to the media gathered outside Istana Negara this afternoon, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, said he will be making a decision soon as to who will form the next federal government. - FMT
