KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — PKR is set to name a relatively unknown candidate to contest the Sg Kandis seat in next month’s by-election.
It is understood that the national PKR leadership is settled on fielding a local candidate, “Ustaz” Zawawi Mughni, despite the Selangor chapter proposing a different name.
Selangor PKR had wanted the party to field Mohd Razlan Jalaluddin, the former PKR coordinator for the Kota Damansara seat in the 14th general election.
“Initially Selangor had proposed Razlan’s name, but Zawawi was proposed by the president,” a high-ranking PKR official told Malay Mail when contacted, referring to Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
The matter was discussed during this week’s political bureau meeting, where the party leadership had indicated that Zawawi will most likely be the party’s choice for the state seat.
Another PKR leader corroborated the matter, saying that Zawawi’s candidacy was pushed by the PKR president, despite arguments that Zawawi was not a well-known public figure.
“No idea why they want this candidate instead of Selangor’s choice,” the leader told Malay Mailwhen contacted.
Cats are flexing their pre-presidency election muscles.
There could be an element of Wan Azizah exercising her prerogative here.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the other consideration is that this is a State Legislature by-election. Assuming the candidate is qualified, it should be a local person.
Parachuting in someone from urban Kota Damansara doesn't cut it.
Wakakakakaka…

Why u so jealous ke?
What Rebellion in PKR? Didin't even smell any gunpowder smoke.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile in BN/PAS benches in Parliament, a very big Rebellion is underway when 3 warlords refuse their Generals orders to retreat when sounded.
Out of nowhere, the Heavenly King came to Bless the Rebels also and say "Sit Down, don't Run"
