- 3 years ago
The opposition has a united front with 105 MPs backing PKR president Anwar Ibrahim as their choice for prime minister.
The task for Anwar now is to close the gap and get at least six more MPs for a majority in the Dewan Rakyat.
Anwar will be competing against Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who is believed to be in the lead at the moment.
Besides backing from Umno and BN, Ismail Sabri is also expected to get support from PAS and Bersatu.
