The police visited the home of PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim in Bukit Segambut, Kuala Lumpur at 12.10pm today and it is learnt that they have served him with a notice to appear in court tomorrow.
The police team was led by ASP Jude Pereira - who refused to speak to the waiting horde of reporters as he left Anwar's house.
The notice requires Anwar to be present at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court at 10am tomorrow.
Anwar meanwhile has called for a press conference at the PKR headquarters at 3pm today.
At present he is believed to be having a meeting with his lawyers and party leaders.
Anwar is being investigated by the police for a sodomy allegation based on a complaint made by his former aide.
Anwar will be contesting for the seat in his attempt to return to Parliament. His wife and PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail vacated the seat last week to allow Anwar to contest for it.
The sodomy charge preferred against Anwar is not expected to have a bearing in the by-election as only convicted persons are barred from contesting or forced to step down from being an elected representative.
