PENANTI, Dec 9 —
Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today Parti Keadilan Rakyat and the DAP will give their full support to any Pas candidate in the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election on Jan 17.
Anwar, who is also PKR advisor, said Kuala Terengganu would not be a safe seat for any party and the Pakatan Rakyat would be out in full force to fight for the seat.
“PKR and DAP have decided to give full commitment to the Pas candidate, whether he is the experienced Mohammad Sabu or others, to contest in Kuala Terengganu,” he told reporters after celebrating his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Ismail’s 56th birthday at Yayasan Aman.
He said Pakatan Rakyat was confident of winning the seat which fell vacant after the incumbent, Datuk Razali Ismail, who was also the Deputy Education Minister, died of a heart attack while playing badminton on Nov 28.
In the March 8 polls this year, Razali won by a slim 628-vote majority, defeating Pas heavyweight Mat Sabu and 89-year-old independent candidate Maimun Yusuf. Polling is on Jan 17 and nomination on Jan 6. — Bernama
