IPOH – Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu has indicated that he will be defending the Tambun parliamentary seat in the next general election (GE15).

He said his focus now is on further streamlining his work in the constituency as Perak PKR chairman Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak had expressed his intention to challenge him in GE15.

“The important thing is, I have a duty to live up to expectations. It is hoped that I can continue to be of service in the future,” he told a press conference after visiting a family which needed housing aid in Kg Manjoi here today.

On September 25, Farhash announced his intention to contest in state and parliamentary seats in Perak in GE15, saying he is ready to take on big names including Faizal.

Faizal, who is also Chenderiang assemblyman, said he will devote due attention to problems including development issues in the constituency. – Bernama, October 3, 2021
