GE15: GTA will not work with PN and BN, says Dr Mahathir

KOTA BARU: Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) is not interested in working with Perikatan Nasional and Barisan Nasional after the 15th General Election.

GTA chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said it was, however, open to working with parties in Sabah and Sarawak.

"We (GTA) will not work with 'parti tebuk atap' and 'parti bossku'. We'd rather be in the opposition.

"So far, GTA has not been approached by any party," he told reporters at the "Kebangkitan Rakyat Kelantan Bersama Negarawan" gathering at Kampung Kubang Rawa here today.

Dr Mahathir, who is also Parti Pejuang Tanah Air chairman, said he is confident Pejuang can win "many seats" in GE15.

On whether GTA has a prime minister candidate, he said no decision has been made yet.

"It is better to wait for GTA to win the election first before deciding who will be the prime minister," he added.
