Heir looms: Anwar seen as victor in Umno leadership race

Article Abstract:

Malaysia's finance minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, is likely to defeat Deputy Prime Minister Abdul Ghafar Baba in the contest for the deputy presidency of the governing party, the United Malays National Organisation. By Sep 9, 1993 Anwar had won far more than the number of nominations needed to take the post away from Ghafar, the incumbent. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mahathir Mohamad, though ostensibly neutral, is close to backing Anwar publicly. Anwar is emerging as Mahathir's probable successor as prime minister.

Developments in the corporate structures of several state-owned enterprises also hint of a rivalry among UMNO politicians. The political maneuvering triggers fears among UMNO leaders of a possible split in the party.
