Unopposed win as PKR president shows Anwar still holds court, say analysts

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s re-election as PKR president without contest has given a strong signal that the 75-year-old veteran is still very much needed to steer the party into the 15th general election (GE15), according to political analysts.

Despite calls from outside the party for Anwar to relinquish the post following the dismal performances of PKR and Pakatan Harapan in the Melaka and Johor state elections, it is clear that PKR grassroots still look up to his credibility and leadership.
