Anwar facing six for PD crown


PORT DICKSON: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s way back to Parliament is a crowded field with six opponents, who include Negri Sembilan’s longest-serving Mentri Besar and a man who once accused him of sodomy.

This is the first time that polls in the Port Dickson seat will see seven candidates, including five independents. Anwar, the main draw and PKR president-elect, is contesting on a Pakatan Harapan ticket to defend the seat won by the coalition in the May 9 general election.
