Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Bersatu MPs aligned to him will continue to back Warisan president Shafie Apdal as the prime minister candidate if the current Perikatan Nasional government is dislodged from power.

Mahathir said their faction would adhere to the recommendations made as a result of discussions between him and the leaders of Warisan, Amanah and DAP on June 25.
