Readers pick Anwar for PM

A week-long FMT poll revealed that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was the least favoured among three personalities.

PETALING JAYA: A majority of FMT readers would like to see PKR de facto leader and Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister should Pakatan Rakyat form the government after the 13th general election.

The question of Pakatan Rakyat’s Prime Minister candidate arose following suggestions from PAS Ulama Wing that the party’s president Abdul Hadi Awang be made the prime minister.

The suggestion was made during PAS’ 58th meeting in Kelantan.

Out of 7,269 who took part in week-long FMT poll, 72% or 5,246 vouched for Anwar.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng who is also DAP secretary general clinched the second spot with 15% or 1,079 votes.

Interestingly Hadi who had the Ulama wing’s backing had the least amount of support. He clinched the last spot with 292 votes, or just four percent.

There were more votes for the fourth option – None Of The Above. Nine percent of FMT readers (652), chose not to vote for any of one the three leaders.

The poll ran for a week from last Monday.
