00:00Political analysts believe calls for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to retain his position

00:07as PKR president without contest are aimed at ensuring the unity government's stability.

00:13Awang Azman Pawi and Chin Yee Mun said keeping both Anwar and his deputy Rafizi Ramli in

00:19their respective party posts would prevent division within the party.

00:24Awang Azman said stability in leadership is crucial to ensure PKR remains focused rather

00:31than distracted by internal power struggles.

00:34Chin also said it would not be wise to rock PKR's boat at this juncture because conflicts

00:40within the party would affect the unity government as well.

00:45Last week, Anwar's senior political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Akin said discussions were

00:51being held so that the PKR president's and deputy president's posts would not be

00:56contested at party elections on May 24.

01:00Former PKR Youth Vice Chief Saeed Badlishah Saeed Osman criticized the proposal, saying

01:07open contests for the top posts were necessary to uphold democracy.
