There is no endorsement from PKR president Anwar Ibrahim for anyone or any faction taking part in the party elections, says PKR deputy secretary-general Dr N Sathia Prakash who adds that some claim they have the support of PMX in their campaigns. “If any party member encounters a candidate claiming to be part of the president’s ‘cai’ (list of preferred candidates), don’t believe it,” said Sathia, who is among 12 candidates in the contest for one of the four vice-president’s posts.

Meanwhile, PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli claims that bots are being used by certain candidates running in the party’s central leadership elections, lamenting that this makes PKR look like Umno. The Pandan MP said he had a team conducting social media data analysis which, a few months ago, detected the use of bots to boost the number of reactions on social media to postings by government ministries and agencies.
