Dr Mahathir: Don’t count forming political coalition post-elections as ‘party-hopping’

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 — Establishing a political coalition after an election to subsequently form a ruling government should not be considered as party-hopping, Langkawi MP Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.

“This is because when there is an election, sometimes there are no parties that have enough numbers to form the government. “The alliance between other parties with the biggest party cannot be interpreted as party-hopping if it is done properly, in accordance with the party’s constitutions and the decision was made during party meetings where they decide to be with the biggest party to secure the greatest number of seats to form the government,’’ he said.

Dr Mahathir’s Parti Pejuang Tanah Air has styled itself as a “third force” that wishes to be the “kingmaker” on who gets to govern Putrajaya.
