Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim revealed that he is still the sole prime minister (PM) candidate if Pakatan Harapan (PH) is successful in taking over the federal administration in the coming 15th General Election (GE15).

National Council of Professors chairman Professor Datuk Dr Shamsul Amri Baharuddin agreed, and mentioned that Umno leaders would want to have GE15 held immediately to take advantage of the support they have garnered from the recent Melaka and Johor state elections.

Umno’s decision to nominate Ismail Sabri Yaakob as the Prime Minister candidate for the 15th General Election (GE15) proves the party’s unity and stability to face the challenges in GE15, says party deputy president Mohamad Hasan.

Amanah's claim that Umno nominated Ismail Sabri Yaakob as its Prime Minister candidate for the 15th General Election (GE15) as a ploy to speed up GE15 is not true, said Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan. - Bernama Photo

To many political observers, the announcement is seen as proof of solidarity among Umno leaders in facing GE15, with Ismail Sabri Yaakob touting that the decision reached by the MKT shows that there is no factionalism within the party. - Bernama Photo
