Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia’s prime minister-in-waiting, has began his campaign for a by-election which will take place next month.
In spite of facing some problems, he is willing to complete the campaign and seeks a return to active politics.
The by-election follows the resignation of a lawmaker to make way for Anwar’s comeback, who submitted his nomination papers yesterday. At that time, Anwar was escorted by dozens of supporters and some cabinet ministers.
He will face six candidates, including a former assistant who had accused Anwar of sodomizing him a decade ago, leading to a conviction in 2015.
