00:00Two analysts named Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah as the frontrunner for one of four vice-president
00:06posts in the Bumiputra wing of Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu.
00:10Awang Azman Pawi of University of Malaya and James Chin of the University of Tasmania also
00:16identified Ibrahim Baki as a strong contender due to his long service with the party.
00:21Karim is the state's tourism, creative industry, and performing arts minister, while Ibrahim,
00:26a Sato Assemblyman and former Petronas board member, has over 30 years of corporate and
00:31legal experience.
00:33Awang Azman Sid Julaihi Narawi, the state's utility and telecommunication minister, is
00:38also well-positioned to retain his vice-president seat.
00:41Recently, PBB Election Committee Chief Awang Bimi Awang Ali Basak confirmed that incumbents
00:47Karim, Julaihi, Dr. Anwar Rapa'i, and Abdul Rahman Junaidi will defend their seats while
00:54State Deputy Minister Lain Talif Saleh and Ibrahim will also compete.
00:58Awang Azman expects Anwar to secure the third slot and the last position to be contested
01:03between Abdul Rahman and Lain Talif, though Ibrahim remains a strong candidate.
01:08PBB's vice-presidential elections will be held during the party's convention from
01:12today until Sunday.
