Parti Keadilan Rakyat or PKR has commenced polling season for the leadership of the party from 2022 to 2025 and to little surprise, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has retained the PKR presidency for another term, winning the seat uncontested. The other key seat to watch will be the number 2 post, namely the deputy president position. Dr Oh Ei Sun, Senior Fellow at the Singapore Institute of International Affairs breaks down for us on the direction of the party moving forward and if this election will heal fissures in the party.
