MUAR – Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda (Armada) has proposed that 30% of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidates for the upcoming Johor state election be from among the young.
Armada chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal said the 30% comprising 17 seats out of the 56 seats, is the best strategy to attract votes from young people.
“For Armada alone, we are proposing five seats, but it depends on the decision of the top leadership of all parties.
“Armada is part of the PN youth component, so the young candidates are not necessarily from Armada only. Maybe from PAS and Gerakan Youth as well as any of the allied wings,” he told reporters after chairing the central and Johor Armada divisions meeting at the Pagoh Bersatu office here today.
Fayhsal said the candidates nominated by Armada derive from community youth leaders who have extensive experience in serving and understanding the problems faced by the people in their area.
Central Armada has received proposals from Armada divisions throughout Johor for consideration by Bersatu’s political bureau, he said.
Meanwhile, Fayhsal said the Bersatu Youth wing would focus on three main issues, namely employability, education and environmental sustainability. – Bernama, February 4, 2022
