Anwar strengthens grip in PKR reshuffle

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim made sweeping changes to PKR today, as he appeared to take firm control of his troubled party, and indicated Datin Seri Wan Azizah Ismail, his wife and party president, would play a more prominent leadership role.

Azmin Ali, a protégé of Anwar, and Tian Chua, the often-controversial information director, also appear to have been sidelined in the changes announced by the de facto party leader.

Azmin will no longer be elections campaign director. He will be replaced by Saifudin Nasution.

Tian Chua has been re-designated to take charge of a new task force while his place has been taken over by Latheefa Koya.
