JOHOR Pakatan Harapan (PH) will announce on November 3 its candidates for 26 parliamentary seats for the upcoming general election, Johor Amanah deputy chairman Dzulkefly Ahmad said. 

“We have completed discussions on seat distribution and we’ll leave it to the wisdom of our party leaders in determining the candidates as GE15 is a rather critical one.

“All parties have had the experience being part of the government. Winnable candidates are also a factor in ensuring victory,” he told reporters after attending a briefing on the Training of Trainers for political party workers in the polls in Johor at the Iskandar Puteri City Council building today.

Asked whether Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub would be defending the Pulai parliamentary seat he won in 2018, Dzulkefly said it was normal practice for the party to choose a candidate again in the following election.

In the 2018 general election, Salahuddin, who is also Johor PH chairman, won the Pulai seat with a majority of 7,687 votes in a four-cornered contest,

The Election Commission has set November 19 for polling, November 5 for nomination and November 15 for early voting. – Bernama, October 25, 2022.
