Pakatan nominates Anwar as PM

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been nominated as prime minister candidate by the Pakatan Harapan presidential council after interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad failed to turn up for the meeting.

Anwar said Dr Mahathir was invited to chair the meeting to revive the Pakatan coalition after the defection of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia from Pakatan, which was followed by Dr Mahathir’s resignation as the Prime Minister and Bersatu chairman.
