PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli said he and the party’s candidate selection committee initially proposed for incumbent MP R Sivarasa to defend his Sungai Buloh seat in the 15th general election (GE15). However, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim had a different opinion. “I can inform that there was a difference in opinion between the candidate selection committee, myself and the president. “The committee and I suggested for Sivarasa to be maintained (in Sungai Buloh) but the party president had a different opinion and I respect his opinion and his discretion because the power to decide on candidates is in the hands of the president of any party,” Rafizi said in a press conference at the PKR headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
