Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim has joined forces with a newly formed group of Selangor PKR grassroots leaders in calling for Anwar Ibrahim to be made party president and incumbent president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as his deputy.

Khalid made his stand known when he attended a function in Klang this morning, organised by the group which calls itself the Majlis Muafakat Kepimpinan Keadilan Selangor (Selangor Keadilan Leadership Consensus Council).

"I am part of it," said Khalid to reporters during a press conference after the function.

The group had emerged last week, with its leaders mostly comprising of party leaders at the divisional level advocating for Anwar and Wan Azizah to fill the top two posts.
