PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and vice-president Rafizi Ramli, both running for deputy presidency post in the upcoming party poll, will face each other for the first time in a debate on May 11.

The 90-minute programme dubbed "Berani Semuka: Siapa Layak Bersama Anwar" will be aired live on all Sinar Harian platforms at 3pm next Wednesday (May 11), according to Sinar Harian Group editor-in-chief Rozaid Rahman.

Rozaid, in a statement, said the Saifuddin-Rafizi debate is timely as the PKR election this year will be seen as an indication of which leader will eventually take over PKR's leadership from party president Anwar Ibrahim.
