In a press conference here, party secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that an unanimous decision on the matter was already made in January last year, and it must be adhered to.
“I also want to say that the MPP today had also discussed matters relating to the [power] transition, especially since this week, many parties gave their views. So the MPP has discussed in great length, and the following is the MPP’s stand taken today.
“The MPP reiterates the decision made by the political bureau, by the MPP and also by the party congress, in regards to the position of Anwar, as the PKR’s candidate and also PH’s prime minister candidate, as per how it was decided, as per recorded consensus on January 6, 2018”.
