SHAH ALAM – Former Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has been listed among seven Malaysian political leaders who could potentially take on the role of the 11th Prime Minister if there is a change in leadership before the 16th General Election (GE16).
The other six are Deputy Prime Ministers Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof and Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Pas Deputy President and Kubang Kerian MP Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, Perikatan Nasional (PN) Chairman and Pagoh MP Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Bersatu Deputy President and Larut MP Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
Pas Central Committee member Tan Sri Annuar Musa said that if these seven figures were to reach a consensus, they have the potential to form a strong coalition capable of dominating the Dewan Rakyat.
'The question keeps arising, who will replace Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister?
'The answer is simple. If a change happens before GE16, any sitting MP who can secure the majority support of Dewan Rakyat members can be appointed as the 11th Prime Minister. They are among the figures often mentioned as potential candidates," he said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
On Saturday, the Turun Anwar rally was held at Dataran Merdeka, urging Anwar to resign over allegations of failing to address the people's hardships.
Following this, several parties questioned who would be the right leader to take over if Anwar were to step down.
Annuar added that if the listed potential leaders could reach an agreement, Malaysia's political landscape could move forward with a fresh and more inclusive form of hope.
'Nothing is impossible in politics,' he said.
