Mahathir said in an interview with the Malay-language Sinar Harian newspaper that he no longer commanded a majority in parliament after some supporters abandoned him to join Muhyiddin’s camp.“It will not succeed,” he said of the vote of no-confidence.Mahathir would have required the support of at least 112 lawmakers in the lower house of parliament to win the vote.
