Opposition chooses Anwar as new Opposition Leader
By ELIZABETH LOOI
KUALA LUMPUR: PKR whip Azmin Ali (PKR - Gombak) submitted a letter to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia at 4pm Wednesday that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is chosen to be the new Opposition Leader.
The letter was signed by Azmin as PKR whip, Dr Tan Seng Giaw as DAP whip and Datuk Seri Hadi Awang, president of PAS.
The Dewan would be announcing Anwar, who has just won the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat, as the new Opposition Leader on Thursday, after he is sworn in.
The Opposition Leader post was left vacant by Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail after she resigned as the Permatang Pauh MP on July 31.
