PUTRAJAYA – Bersatu vice-president Datuk Mohd Radzi Md Jidin tonight was announced as Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) candidate for the Putrajaya parliamentary seat in the coming 15th general election (GE15).

PN chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Bersatu president, announced this in his speech at the coalition’s Jelajah Prihatin Parlimen Putrajaya programme here. 

“The candidate for Putrajaya is Radzi… never have any doubt, this is our candidate and we want him to work,” he said. 

In GE14, Radzi contested the Ketereh parliamentary seat but was defeated by Tan Sri Annuar Musa. He was then appointed a senator on July 17, 2018.

The incumbent for Putrajaya is Umno treasurer Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, who in GE14 won the seat against PAS’ Zainal Abidin Kidam and PKR candidate Datuk Samsu Adabi Mamat by a 3,372-vote majority. – Bernama, October 26, 2022
