KETEREH MP Annuar Musa said today he only interested in defending his “home” seat and will not move to another constituency.

Annuar, the Ketereh Umno division chief, said he had been holding to this principle because he wanted to serve in his birthplace.

“Although I lost in the 2008 general election, I did not move because I do not want to contest in another place. That is my principle.

“Everyone has his own way in politics. Some will change constituency every term but I choose to serve in my place of birth,” he said in Kota Baru today.

He added that whether he would contest in Ketereh was up to the party leadership to decide.

“We follow the party constitution, with the division proposing names of prospective candidates to the state Umno liaison committee, which will then forward the list to the central leadership.

“According to the constitution, if they want to pick a candidate not in the submitted list, the party has to discuss again with the division, and so far no such talks have been held,” he added. – Bernama, October 29, 2022.
