Even before Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement of his plan to contest in the Permatang Pauh by-election, his supporters have already dubbed him ‘prime minister in waiting’ – but Barisan Nasional won’t be letting him continue his formal ascent into national politics without a do-or-die battle.

AFTER months of speculation, it was his loyal wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail who quit her seat, paving the way for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s formal ascent.
