PETALING JAYA: After five states have cast their votes, Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and Rafizi Ramli are neck and neck in their race to be the PKR deputy president, the hottest contest in the ongoing party elections.

Results in Penang, Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang have shown that the incumbent Azmin is leading the competition by a razor-thin 92 votes against his sole contender and fierce rival Rafizi, a current vice-president.
