TANJONG KARANG – The majority of Umno candidates contesting parliamentary seats in Selangor for the 15th general election (GE15) are locals, said the party’s state liaison committee chairman, Tan Sri Noh Omar.

Noh, who is also the state Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, said that Umno will contest 10 parliamentary seats in the state including Sabak Bernam, Tanjung Karang, Sg Besar, Kuala Selangor, Sepang, and Gombak.

“It is safe to say that the majority of Selangor Umno candidates are locals,” said the incumbent Tanjung Karang MP to reporters after visiting Tanjung Karang Hospital here today.
