A Bersatu Supreme Council member today claimed that Pakatan Harapan chairperson Anwar Ibrahim is unfit to be once again named as the coalition's prime minister candidate pending the outcome of a civil suit by his former research assistant, Muhammad Yusoff Rawther, over alleged sexual assault.

Incumbent Mersing MP Abdul Latiff Ahmad, who referred to Harapan's announcement on the candidacy at its convention in Perak last week, cited Yusoff's lawsuit against Anwar on July 14, 2021, alleging sexual assault by the PKR president four years ago.
