KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 — Head of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s (PPBM) Youth wing Armada, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, today expressed confidence that Perikatan Nasional (PN) will be the Selangor government after the state elections are over.
The Machang MP hinted that Datuk Seri Azmin Ali will stand for election in the state because the former Selangor menteri besar is a vote magnet.
“Everyone knows Selangor is the biggest challenge for us. We must demonstrate to Selangor voters that we are the government in waiting. What we know is that the response so far is encouraging.
“I think we can (win in Selangor). We have Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and other interesting candidates from among professionals, retirees and civil servants who will be announced soon by PN leaders,” he said.
Ahmad Fayhsal also said that Chinese voters will switch allegiances to PN from Pakatan Harapan (PH).
“They waited over 20 years for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to become prime minister but after his appointment, he is not behaving like one. This is going to be a national referendum,” he added.
Selangor, together with Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu, will all hold their state elections on August 12.
The polls will be the first time that former rivals Barisan Nasional and PH will compete as partners since they allied to form the national unity government after the 15th general election last year.
