With Nurul Izzah Anwar’s bid to become the next PKR deputy president getting more support, veteran journalist A Kadir Jasin pointed out that Anwar Ibrahim’s contemporaries would not find it surprising.

According to him, the manoeuvrings within PKR to boost Nurul Izzah are very similar to the moves done to oust former Umno deputy president Abdul Ghafar Baba in 1993 in favour of Anwar.
