All must agree on Anwar's stake to prime ministership - Rafizi

PKR AGM | While having differences in opinions is one of the strengths of PKR, outgoing party vice-president Rafizi Ramli said the one opinion all party leaders cannot differ on is Anwar Ibrahim's claim to the eighth prime ministership.

"We respect differences in opinions, but we cannot differ on our views on who is the eighth prime minister," Rafizi said in his speech at the 13th PKR national congress in Shah Alam today.

He expressed his disappointment against those who spoke against Anwar, including some party leaders themselves.

"I observe there are discussions on WhatsApp, there are postings on Facebook, sometimes by top leaders in the party who belittle efforts to uplift Anwar as the eighth prime minister.

"Some say that Anwar's time has so-called ended, and some say it is time for a new (leader).

"Having differences of opinion is fine, but having differences of opinion to the point of opening up space to outsiders to attack the party and Anwar as the candidate for the eighth prime minister, I ask that you stop that now," he said, to applause from the crowd.
