Outcome in Race for No 2 in Anwar’s Party Could Pose Political Headache for Him

  • Members of PKR voted on May 23, 2025, in Johor Bahru to select the deputy president between Nurul Izzah Anwar and incumbent Rafizi Ramli.
  • The contest arose amid concerns over party factionalism, allegations of money politics, and Nurul Izzah's candidacy raising accusations of nepotism.
  • Nurul Izzah, the 44-year-old daughter of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, pledged not to join the Cabinet if elected, while Rafizi threatened to quit as Economy Minister if he lost.
  • About 20,000 to 30,000 delegates voted in a tight race described as a test of Anwar's influence and the party's commitment to reform amid claims of vote rigging.
  • The outcome could deepen party divisions, challenge Anwar's leadership, and influence PKR's role in upcoming elections and governance stability.
