Pakatan Rakyat has yet to decide on who will be prime minister if the coalition wins the general election.
PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim admitted that leaders of Pakatan leaders have yet to reach a consensus on the issue.
However, he claimed that PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has endorsed a letter from world renowned Muslim scholar Yusuf al Qaradawi of Eypt supporting him [Anwar] to be the prime minister.
He claimed that Nik Aziz had launched and endorsed Yusuf’s three-page letter several days ago during a PAS election talk in Pokok Sena, Kedah.
Anwar claimed in his letter, Yusuf had also called on Malaysians to support Pakatan to form the next federal government.
“Pakatan has not reached a consensus on the position of prime minister. We wanted to focus on the election instead and decide on the issue later,” he told a press conference here today.
Also present was PKR president and Anwar’s wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
Anwar disclosure that Pakatan has not reached a consensus is a surprise given that DAP has put election billboards announcing Anwar as the coalition’s prime minister.
