PETALING JAYA, April 12 – Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail(pic) today confirmed that she would not contest in the upcoming 13th general election. She said it was best for her to focus on the party’s campaign and to woo women voters for the party.
“I have decided not to contest. I want to focus on the campaign,” she told reporters at the PKR headquarters, here, today. Wan Azizah also denied that she was sidelined by the party for not contesting, and argued that she was still the party president.
On former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s statement that she had written to him an 18-page letter 15 years ago about her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s misbehaviour, who was then the deputy prime minister, Wan Azizah said: “I never wrote the letter.”
Dr Mahathir last week revealed to the media about the letter, but he did not divulge the content.
