After failing to convince those in Umno to take up arms, Dr Mahathir Mohamad appears to be seeking new allies for his war against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

However, PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli is far from enthusiastic about enlisting unless the former premier agrees to a total overhaul.

Yesterday, PAS lawmaker Mahfuz Omar, after a meeting with the former premier, claimed that Mahathir agreed political parties should set aside differences and work towards removing Najib from power.
