KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 — PKR and Amanah MPs exited the Istana Negara cheerfully today after their meeting with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah this morning.

PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who rode in the car with his wife, former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, did not stop to greet the supporters but his aide told the press that he will meet his supporters at his residence in Bukit Segambut afterwards.

PKR supporters then dispersed around 1.20pm.

The vehicles of Warisan MPs, who also exited the palace around the same time, did not stop to meet the press.

DAP MPs arrived in another bus at around 1.30pm.

Yesterday, the Palace announced that the King will interview all MPs one by one to ascertain who commands the majority of the Dewan Rakyat to become the next prime minister.
