ISKANDAR PUTERI – Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) would announce its candidates for the state’s 26 parliamentary seats for the upcoming 15th general election (GE15) on November 3, said Johor Amanah deputy chairman Dzulkefly Ahmad.
“We have completed the distribution of seats and we’ll leave it to the wisdom of our party leaders in determining the candidates as the GE15 is a rather critical one.
“All the parties had the experience of being part of the government. Winnable candidates are also a factor in ensuring victory,” he told reporters after attending a briefing on the training for GE15 political party workers in Johor at the Iskandar Puteri City Council building, here, today.
Asked whether Amanah deputy president Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub would be defending the Pulai parliamentary seat which he won in 2018, Dzulkefly said it was a usual practice for the party to choose again a candidate in the following election.
In the 14th general election, Salahuddin who is also Johor PH chairman, won the Pulai seat with a majority of 7,687 votes in a four-cornered contest,
The Election Commission has set November 19 for polling, early voting for November 15 and November 5 for the nomination of candidates. – Bernama, October 25, 2022
