Anwar to announce by-election candidacy this week?
This is what Anwar Ibrahim told Agence France Presse (AFP) in a telephone interview this morning:
Anwar said the allegations were aimed at derailing his spectacular political comeback as the figurehead of the opposition which made unprecedented gains in March elections, and came just as he was about to re-enter parliament.
"This is their intention. You know we will announce a by-election this week. I will contest in the by-election, the police knew that," he said. [...]
"Umno members and MPs have promised to come out and campaign for me so they come out with these sexual allegations to stop me from securing power," he said.
I personally spoke to the foreign correspondent who filed the AFP story and he re-confirmed it. Therefore, I am awaiting more development with bated breath. Rafidah Aziz will know her fate this week, too.
