KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) has yet to decide on its deputy prime minister candidate, BN vice chairman Tan Sri Joseph Kurup said.
"Not yet... sorry, I don't want to speculate," said the Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) president said in a WhatsApp message.
This comes after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim promised that two deputy prime minister positions would be created for his cabinet, one for a representative from BN and the other from Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan chairman, was appointed the prime minister yesterday after agreeing to form a unity government with other political coalitions.
Perikatan Nasional, however, refused to join the unity government and will take on the role of opposition in Parliament soon.
