Anwar: I declined to meddle so Najib retracted his support for me
- 2 years ago
Opposition chief Anwar Ibrahim today revealed that he had the support of 120 MPs, including 15 from Umno, to become prime minister in 2020, but the number was reduced after he declined to meddle in Najib Abdul Razak's court cases.
Speaking to reporters in Port Dickson, the MP said Najib and Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi were among those who had thrown their support behind him.
However, according to Anwar, the Umno MPs did not submit their statutory declarations (SD) to Istana Negara through him but instead sent them directly to the palace.
