Ahead of official nominations for the PKR central election, a party veteran has hinted that “right-thinking” members are behind a wave of endorsements for vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar to contest the deputy presidency.

Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim described Nurul Izzah, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister and PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, as a factor that can save the party from ending up “with an unsuitable candidate” for the number two post.
