Anwar defends decision to field Chegubard
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim defended his decision to field Badrul Hisham Shaharin or better known as Chegubard for the Sungai Acheh state seat although the decision was opposed by PAS.
He said PKR and PAS were fielded for the state seat due to a misunderstanding between both parties when nominating their respective candidates.
"Give us another two or three days to resolve the matter," he said during a political campaign at Kampung Tok Keramat, near here, tonight.
Sungai Acheh will see a three-cornered fight featuring Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Datuk Mahmud Zakaria, PKR's Chegubard and Mohd Yusni Mat Piah from PAS.
In the 12th General Election, Mahmud beat PKR's Dr Azhar Ahmad by 250 votes.
