Zahid will be prime minister if BN wins: Anwar
KUALA LUMPUR – Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will be prime minister if Barisan Nasional (BN) wins the 15th general election, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Speaking at a ceramah in Tapah, Perak last night, the opposition leader did not back up his claim, but said it was evident that BN wanted an early election this year so that it could regain power.
“If BN wins, Zahid will be PM. If Perikatan (Nasional) wins, it will be (Tan Sri) Muyiddin (Yassin),” he said.
“If Pakatan Harapan (PH) wins, it will be me-lah,” the PH chairman and PKR president added, drawing laughter and cheers from the crowd.
Umno had previously named its vice-president Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who is currently caretaker prime minister, as its prime minister candidate.
