VIEW ON OPPOSITION FIGHTING FOR PM'S POST IS WITH BASIS光华日报

ARAU, Feb 24 (Bernama) – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s view that the opposition leaders would fight for the position of Prime Minister is made with strong basis, said UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim.

He said this being that DAP had more seats in parliament than any other parties, although Pakatan Harapan was said to be led by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM).

“Do not be influenced that the Prime Minister’s post will easily belong to PPBM chairman, who is former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, for him to return as a premier again.

“ UMNO, as the core party of Barisan Nasional (BN), practises power-sharing with component parties in the coalition without problems and is well received by the people, ” he said.

Shahidan, who is also Perlis UMNO Liaison Committee chairman and the State BN chairman, was met by reporters after a gathering with BN supporters at the Kampung Guar Gajah Polling District (PDM) here last night.
