BREAKING: We made a decision, we will announce it tomorrow

At the moment, PH has 102 seats, 10 short of the required 112 seats needed to form a government with a simple majority. Asked what else transpired during the presidential council meeting, Khalid said: “It was a very happy meeting. A lot of good things were discussed.”

Amanah deputy president Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub, meanwhile, said the coalition would be making an announcement tomorrow, but declined to provide details. “We made a decision and we will announce it tomorrow. We have arrived at a consensus,” he said.

Asked if a decision has been made over who would be the prime minister candidate for PH following Mahathir’s resignation and PPBM’s exit, Salahuddin said this too would be announced tomorrow.

Other top PH leaders, including Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Lim Guan Eng, Lim Kit Siang, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Datuk Xavier Jayakumar, kept mum when met for comments.

Later, in a brief statement, PH said “the coalition remains together”.
