PKR election

Wan Azizah remains unopposed at the PKR president. Anwar Ibrahim withdrew because he couldnt contest as ROC didnt allow him. If he did, PKR could be deregistered. The other challenger Abdul Rahman too withdrew at the last hour. Looking at the scenario, Anwar had to put his personal glory aside for the sake of the party. Without a party to fight the BN in the next GE, it will become a liability to the opposition. So party above self interests......Wan Azizah will only stay on until Anwar Ibrahim serves his mandatory sentence on his corruption charges until April 2008 then he is likely to take over the presidency through a special EGM. In a way the PKR has showed its maturity to fight the BN now
