EXCLUSIVE | In an exclusive interview with Malaysiakini at his office in Petaling Jaya on Wednesday, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said discussions on who would be named as the prime minister candidate are still ongoing.
He conceded that some Harapan lawmakers have pragmatic views and want Mahathir to be the premier candidate in order to secure the numbers needed to gain a majority in Parliament.
Asked if he was confident of being named as the prime minister candidate, the PKR president replied, after a brief pause, "cautiously so".
However, Anwar believes that securing numbers must not come at the expense of ideals.
