GEORGE TOWN: All 42 DAP members of parliament will support Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister if he has the numbers to form the federal government.
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the party took note of Anwar's announcement earlier today that he had the numbers to form the new government.
"In line with the decision by the Pakatan Harapan presidential council, all 42 DAP MPs will support Anwar as the prime minister if he has the numbers to form the new government," he added.
Anwar today claimed he has a strong support from MPs to form a government, effectively unravelling the present Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
However he did not indicate the exact number of MPs that have pledged their support to him, saying he wanted to present the numbers to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong first.
