PETALING JAYA: Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar’s decision to sit out the coming PKR elections has been perceived as a lack of confidence by a political analyst.
Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said Nurul Izzah probably thought she did not have a good chance of winning if she were to contest in the elections, but he believed she should at least be going for one of the vice-president’s posts.
Azmi said her prospects of climbing up the PKR leadership ladder would be affected, while party members would find it difficult to look up to her as one of the main leaders when Anwar Ibrahim eventually stepped down as president.
“This is the right time for her to at least be in one of the four vice-president’s seats since her father is still the president. Her father’s influence is good for her,” he told FMT.
