PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will have two deputy prime ministers in his Cabinet, which will comprise 25 members.

A source in the know today (Nov 30) said Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and Barisan Nasional (BN), specifically UMNO are poised to helm the two deputy prime minister posts

PKR, Umno, DAP and GPS are likely to be given the most ministerial posts. Warisan, Amanah and UPKO are also slated to be included in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman’s Cabinet.

The source also said Anwar is expected to unveil his Cabinet tomorrow.

Previously, GPS said it would comply with the decree of the King for the formation of a unity government to resolve the recent political turmoil.

GPS chairman Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg, who is also the Premier, said the appointment of the federal Cabinet, however, would be up to Anwar.

In the 15th General Election (GE15), GPS further strengthened its position in Dewan Rakyat after securing 23 parliamentary seats.

GPS comprises Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) contested in all 31 parliamentary seats in Sarawak.
