KAJANG, Nov 21<\/strong> —\u00a0Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has defended his statement that PH has enough seats to form a federal government through a coalition with other parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PKR president said once an\u00a0understanding was reached with the other parties, it would be presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I still affirm my position that we already have the majority and enough support and I am confident that we will be given the opportunity to govern the country.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“National stability, providing protection\u00a0from negative elements to restore the country, those are the common\u00a0duties (for all the parties),”<\/em> he said when met by reporters at his residence in Sungai Long.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, Anwar refused to reveal which party would support PH to form the government and to allow the parties to announce it themselves soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since yesterday we have had enough (numbers to form the majority), let the parties concerned announce who they will cooperate with soon, either tonight or tomorrow,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On rumours that he would be meeting with Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi tonight to negotiate on a coalition to form the government, Anwar denied the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 15th General Election (GE15) yesterday, PH managed to win 82 parliamentary seats, while Perikatan Nasional (PN) won 73, BN (30), Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) (22), Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) ) (six), Parti Warisan (three) while one seat each went to Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) and Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) in addition to two Independent candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
