BATU PAHAT: There are 12 candidates capable of filling the Johor Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) chairman’s post vacated by Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim, says party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday.

Hassan reportedly submitted his resignation letter to Anwar in the second week of July, marking the second time he is quitting the post after having withdrawn his first-time resignation last year.
