Report: PN has decided on opposition chief

Perikatan Nasional (PN) has decided on a candidate for the position of opposition chief, according to Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

The PAS deputy president reportedly said the name will be announced before the Dewan Rakyat starts sitting this December 19.

He, however, declined to reveal who was picked for the job.

“PN has made a decision and this will be announced to the media before Dewan Rakyat starts its session,” Tuan Ibrahim (above) said, as quoted by Berita Harian.

The Malay daily also quoted Bachok MP Syahir Sulaiman, who is the political secretary to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, as saying that Hadi was among those who nominated the candidate.

“PN supreme council has made a decision (on the candidate), and Hadi, who was present in the meeting, was among those who had nominated the name,” he reportedly said.

The daily also speculated that it was Tuan Ibrahim who was picked, based on several analysts’ views that the PAS deputy president was the best candidate for the job as he has the experience of a minister and was well received by many.
