PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim said there will be one deputy prime minister from Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak respectively.

“This proposal has existed since the early days of Pakatan Rakyat, we will have one DPM each from the Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak. But should there be changes, we will discuss further,” he told reporters here today.

On PH’s seat allocation in Sabah, Anwar, who is PKR president, said the matter has been finalised and an announcement will be made in a few days.

In Tawau, Anwar said PKR was confident of retaining the Tawau, Ranau and Putatan seats based on the support received, people’s awareness and the hard work put in by the party’s machinery.

“The candidates are those who are brave enough to speak out on matters including timber (concessions) and contracts in Sabah, can champion the plight of Sabahans, have integrity and a clean record, and will not put their own interests first,” he said.

In 2018, PKR won the Tawau, Ranau and Putatan parliamentary seats, but Ranau MP Jonathan Yasin later left the party to join Bersatu.
