PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar says just because jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim declined to be named as the pact’s prime minister candidate doesn’t mean that Dr Mahathir Mohamad is its automatic choice. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Najjua Zulkefli, June 28, 2017.

THE Pakatan Harapan chairman is not automatically the coalition’s choice as prime minister, said a senior leader, wading into the controversy, which has delayed the registration of the opposition coalition.

This issue is also confusing supporters of PH as they assume whoever is picked as the chairman is the automatic choice for the prime minister’s position if PH wins the 14th general election, said PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar.
