PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said today that he has recently spoken "at length" with his deputy Mohamed Azmin Ali.
Anwar said this outside the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya, where the party's political bureau is scheduled to convene for its weekly meeting.
He did not reveal what transpired between himself and Azmin, but promised to issue a statement after the meeting.
He also confirmed that Azmin would not be in attendance.
Anwar said he had spoken to several parties individually about the "latest developments" and expected a swift political bureau meeting.
Those attending today's meeting include PKR disciplinary board chairperson Syed Husin Ali, chief whip Johari Abdul Ghani, vice-president Dr Xavier Jayakumar, secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, vice-president Ali Biju and information chief Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin.
The meeting is being held two days after the spread of three video clips which depicted a person resembling Azmin in bed with another man.
At about 2am this morning, PKR member Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz claimed in a video on Facebook page to be the person depicted in the sex videos.
Haziq also urged authorities to investigate Azmin for graft.
Azmin has described the saga as a "nefarious plot" designed to tarnish his reputation and hurt his career.
The saga started at about 1.25am on Tuesday morning when three video clips were circulated to reporters and PKR members through several WhatsApp messaging groups.
Accompanying the video clips were two documents which alleged that UEM Group Bhd had paid Azmin US$741,000 in 2017. UEM has denied the allegation today. - Mkini
