Anwar to be charged for sodomy tomorrow, will he be in Permatang Pauh by-election?
It is now confirmed. Anwar Ibrahim will be charged in court tomorrow, 7th August 2008, for sodomy offence. It will be a much awaited event as Anwar is now expected to contest in a by-election for the parlimentary seat of Permatang Pauh.
The seat had been vacated by his wife Wan Azizah who had been holding the forte there since Anwar was sacked, also for sodomy allegation by Mahathir, way back in 1998. The nomination date for the by-election had been set on 16th August 2008 and if there is a contest, the by-election will be held on 26th August 2008. Interestingly, the dates for both the sodomy court case and the by-elections are announced on the same day, today.
Now, will Anwar be allowed bail tomorrow and appear in Permatang Pauh caomaigning for the by-election? That is also an interesting question but the answer will only be known tomorrow…. so do keep your fingers crossed guys.
Anwar, of course, claimed the sodomy allegation is another conspiracy against him and the Government had also denied the conspiracy allegation by Anwar.
While a police report against Anwar had been dealt with super efficiently, the whole nation is watching in high anticipation what would happen to the ACA report against Pak Lah and Najib.
