KUALA SELANGOR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last night hinted at fielding Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari as a candidate for the Gombak federal seat in the 15th general election (GE15) on November 19.
“That is the duty of Amir (Amirudin), who wants to take care of Gombak. We will send Selangor’s main commander to Gombak… but this is not an official announcement… it will officially be announced on October 28,” he said at the Selangor State Mega Harapan Tour here.
“I have leaked the question, I discussed it with Amir, who said ‘I am the commander and I can, insya-Allah, defend it (for PH)’,” said the PKR president.
Gombak incumbent MP Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, who is also the caretaker senior international trade and industry minister, had previously stated his desire to defend the seat in GE15.
Azmin has held Gombak for three terms, which he won under the PKR ticket.
Meanwhile, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, when met after the programme, said he is expected to defend his Kota Raja parliamentary seat. – Bernama, October 27, 2022
