Nik Nazmi: Anwar could have been PM, but refused to betray people’s mandate
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim could have been appointed as prime minister had he decided to accept Umno leaders who are facing ongoing graft charges, says Setiawangsa PKR MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
(The Star) – However, Anwar decided against the idea, as the PKR president refused to betray the people’s mandate just for premiership, said Nik Nazmi.
“Anwar told us that he could have been the PM with condition that he abandoned our Pakatan Harapan allies and accept leaders in Umno facing numerous corruption charges.
“But, he refused to betray the mandate of the people simply for the sake of obtaining the premiership,” said Nik Nazmi in an Instagram post on Tuesday (March 3).
