Since yesterday afternoon, MPs have gone to the Istana Negara to inform Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah of whom they supported to be the head of the government. Shortly after Umno and PAS left the Istana Negara, however, both announced they were withdrawing support for Dr Mahathir over the unwillingness to join any administration that would include DAP, which both continued to blame for the country’s problems, real and imagined.
Although losing the support of Umno and PAS will frustrate Dr Mahathir’s plan for a “unity government”, he could still form the next administration if all those still declared for him follow through with their public pledges. The upheaval at the federal level has also begun spreading to states marginally held by PH, with the Opposition in Johor claiming they now possessed the majority needed to form a new state government.
While confidantes, allies and subordinates have sought to speak for him and portray him as upset by supposed attempts to have him renege on his promise to hand over power to PKR’s Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the interim PM has yet to address the nation or even comment publicly.
