KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — Two-time prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he has not ruled out the possibility of forming a electoral pact with Pakatan Harapan despite their previous fallout over a succession plan, after seeing no party is likely to command a super-majority win in GE15.
In 2018, he led Pakatan Harapan to a historical victory in the 14th General Election , which toppled Barisan Nasional’s rule for the first time since Malaysia’s independence in 1957 on the back of public anger over Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1MDB scandal. The new Pakatan Harapan government, however, ended when Tun Dr. Mahathir fell out with PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar IBrahim over an agreement to hand over power, leading to a collapse in government and the formation of a new administration with the support of Umno lawmakers.TRENDING
