IPOH: Bersatu deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu is willing to face any political leader, including PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, in a contest for the Tambun parliamentary seat.
Faizal, better known as Peja, is the sitting Tambun MP.
He said he would not feel threatened by anyone contesting for the seat as it was a process that politicians needed to go through in supporting democratic practices.
“I am a supporter of democracy, he (Anwar) deserves to contest wherever he chooses, I welcome him and I hope the voters will continue to choose me to continue helping them, especially in Tambun,” he said here.
Anwar, who is opposition leader, was reported to be considering a proposal to contest in Tambun, but said the matter had not been finalised.
