Difference in opinion between Anwar, Rafizi over Sungai Buloh candidate
- last year
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.
PKR had previously announced it would field its deputy information chief R Ramanan in Sungai Buloh.
The announcement of Ramanan as the Sungai Buloh candidate prompted backlash from constituents, who urged for a different candidate or to retain Sivarasa, especially after Umno/BN announced Khairy Jamaluddin as their candidate for the constituency.
Rafizi said after considering the feedback they received, PKR has decided to continue with Ramanan as their Sungai Buloh candidate.
