PETALING JAYA: In a twist of fate, it appears that Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s ambition to become the country’s ninth prime minister hinges on the decision of his predecessor Muhyiddin Yassin.

Muhyiddin’s resignation as prime minister on Monday created the opportunity for Ismail to rise to power but he will not be able to do it without Muhyiddin’s green light, say sources.

Speaking to FMT, one source in the know said despite Barisan Nasional, Gabungan Parti Sarawak and PAS’ backing, it was not certain yet that Ismail had the numbers as Bersatu’s support is not set in stone.

Muhyiddin will only announce the Perikatan Nasional coalition’s choice for prime minister later this evening.

“Within Bersatu, there is some jostling between Hamzah Zainudin and Azmin Ali over who becomes deputy prime minister. But ultimately, the MPs will follow Muhyiddin’s lead,” said the source.
