MELAKA – Pakatan Harapan (PH) will be announcing its candidates for the Melaka elections any time soon, state PH chairman Adly Zahari said.
He said the PH presidential council is deciding on the final list after the three component parties – PKR, Amanah, and DAP – submitted their choice of candidates.
Asked about the fate of former assemblymen Datuk Seri Idris Haron and Datuk Nor Azman Hassan, and whether they will be fielded as PH candidates, Adly said the matter is also still being discussed by the presidential council.
“What is important now is for the national leadership to make the final decisions. It is just not about one or two individuals, but about choosing a team of PH candidates,” he told a media conference here today.
PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was reported as saying that the issue concerning Idris and Nor Azman’s candidacy is still being discussed by the PH component parties.
Apart from PKR, DAP, and Amanah, PH is also membered by United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation.
