Anwar said all quarters must be united and cooperate to ensure the party’s candidates emerge victorious in the election.

He said they should also step up cooperation in the PH government, both at the state and federal levels.

“Focus on PRN12 (the 12th Sarawak state election) to ensure victory for PKR and PH,” he said when launching the Sarawak PKR convention here today.

The election must be held by Sept 7, 2021, but is expected to be called next year.

Anwar said that as part of the preparations for the election, Sarawak PKR must quickly hold meetings involving all party divisions in the state, including the process of picking the candidates.

He wanted all the divisions to be given the opportunity to give their opinions and proposals and not to be dominated by certain quarters.

He said all views would be taken into account by the central leadership before decisions were made based on the conclusions of the state leadership.

“PKR is a democratic party which decides based on the majority,’’ he said.

Later, speaking to reporters, Anwar said he was prepared to discuss with any quarters internal issues of the party.

“I can discuss with anybody, no problem,’’ he said, adding that all members must comply with the party constitution.

Also present at the opening of the convention, attended by more than 1,000 delegates, was PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
