PETALING JAYA: Ezam Mohd Nor, a former political secretary to PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, will be fielded by Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) for the Petaling Jaya parliamentary seat in the 15th general election (GE15).

The former PKR leader will be among nine candidates to be fielded by PRM in Selangor during the Nov 19 polls, reported Bernama.


Ezam previously announced his intention to contest the Langkawi parliamentary seat formerly held by Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

However, he decided against this after Pakatan Harapan (PH) named a candidate from Amanah, stating that a “face-off against PH’s candidate will only benefit Mahathir”.

The Petaling Jaya parliamentary seat was previously held by PKR’s Maria Chin Abdullah but she is being replaced by Lee Chean Chung in GE15.

Meanwhile, PRM vice-president Ahmad Jufliz Faiza said he would contest the Sungai Buloh seat.

Apart from the nine seats in Selangor, PRM will field candidates in Batu (Kuala Lumpur) and Batu Pahat (Johor).

Asked about PRM’s selection criteria, Jufliz said the party focused on individuals who were willing to serve the country.


The list of PRM candidates:Kuala Selangor – R Loganathan
Bangi – Chee Chee Meng
Petaling Jaya – Ezam Mohd Nor
Sungai Buloh – Ahmad Jufliz Faiza
Kapar – W Jeichandran
Klang – S Chandrasegar
Kota Raja – Sarah Afiqah Zainol Arif
Kuala Langat – M Ganeskumar
Sepang – R Nageswaran
Batu – Mohd Zulkifli Abdul Fattah
Batu Pahat – Zahari Osman
