Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he would still be prime minister today if not for PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.

In an interview with Utusan Malaysia, Mahathir explained after his resignation as prime minister in 2020, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had to determine which MP had the support of the majority.

Mahathir said he thought Pakatan Harapan would choose him because he was with Harapan, but Anwar claimed to have a lot of support.
