Parliament will convene special sitting on March 2nd to determine who commands the majority support and be Prime Minister

Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said the next prime minister may have to be decided when the Dewan Rakyat convenes next month, as there is no clear majority established on the formation of the next government. If parliament fails to find someone who has a simple majority snap polls will have to be called.

“The king has asked all MPs. They have made statutory declarations but he is not sure, so he wants them to make another statement.

“He cannot find anyone with a distinct majority,” he told reporters today after announcing the economic stimulus package at the Prime Minister’s Office here.
