JOHOR BARU, May 21 -- The incumbent Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli last night predicted his own defeat in the race for the PKR deputy presidency, joking that he would have a heart attack if he were to win this Saturday.

Rafizi is defending his position as deputy president against Nurul Izzah Anwar in a direct contest.

The 47-year-old Cabinet member and Pandan MP insinuated that his defeat was a foregone conclusion.

"This is because I know that everything has been 'arranged' for the position in the election this time round, just like what happened in the recent PKR division elections in several locations," Rafizi alleged.

"I can guarantee you that if I do unexpectedly win, I could have a heart attack, as it is certain that I will lose."
