Why Harapan is so reluctant to name Anwar as their PM candidate is a mystery. It's so obvious that the candidate is him. Who else could it be?
I can't imagine under any scenario that it would be Dr M. While there are those, including Khalid Samad, who are in favour of working with Dr M again, I don't think any of them think it's a good idea for Dr M to become Harapan's PM candidate again.
He had his chance and he screwed it up royally.
The situation is very clear to everyone. Harapan, which consists of PKR, DAP and Amanah have to get enough seats in GE15 to form the government on their own. They cannot, and must not, rely on Dr M's faction.
They can work together with Dr M's faction to oppose Muhyiddin and gang. There's strength in numbers. And post-election, assuming Harapan has won, they can also welcome Dr M's faction being supportive of Harapan. They can even nominate a few of those guys as deputy ministers in return for their support. But they must not be dependent on them. They must have the numbers to form the government on their own. Otherwise just a small handful of them will become kingmakers again and that spells trouble.
