PKR facing its toughest challenge to date

KLANG: Mired in factionalism and open bickering, a key party that led the then Opposition in the stunning GE14 win last year is facing its toughest challenge ever, and this will likely be reflected in its national congress over the weekend.

The crux of the battle within PKR is the power struggle between president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his deputy Datuk Seri Azmin Ali. And the supporters of the two men are expected to engage in a battle royale during the congress in Melaka, which also marks the party’s 20th anniversary.
