After trying to topple the Barisan Nasional government from the outside, de facto PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim has finally made the move to try to get back into Parliament before trying to form the next government.
It is much more credible for him to woo BN MPs if he is a parliamentarian himself rather than just the unofficial leader of the opposition. And in choosing Permatang Pauh, he has chosen the best possible seat to make his re-entrance into parliament.
