Rafizi and Nik Nazmi are holding an event to announce a new ‘political direction’ on the same day as Anwar’s party meets
The awkward timing has turned Sunday into a political split screen: PH will be trying to project discipline and renewal ahead of the next general election, while Rafizi’s event has fuelled speculation that he and his allies are preparing a new platform outside Anwar’s party.
Anwar came to power after Malaysia’s 2022 hung parliament by forming a broad “unity government” that brought PH together with its former rival, the Umno-led Barisan Nasional, and regional parties.
