Some PKR members protest Dr M’s naming as PM candidate

Emotional: Dr Mahathir crying when he was announced as Pakatan’s prime minister candidate during the bloc’s convention in Shah Alam.

SHAH ALAM: Mixed signals have emerged from the Pakatan Harapan convention despite the announcement that the four partner parties agreed on several issues such as seat allocations that will be contested in the next general election.

PKR’s position in the Opposition front was “demoted” to second place when Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia was allocated 52 seats to be contested by the Opposition in the general election – the highest number in Pakatan. PKR was allocated 51 seats.
