SELANGOR Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari is the poster boy for the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election as Selangor folk are familiar with the programmes organised by the state government, said Mohd Hasbie Muda.

The Amanah Youth chief said the people are more familiar with the impact or programmes organised by the Selangor government over the past several years.

He told news portal Malaysiakini that Amiruddin was also picked as the “poster boy” as he had served longer as menteri besar compared to Anwar as prime minister.

His comments come after Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil hinted that Anwar would not be present during the campaign for the Kuala Kubu Baharu polls.

The Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election on May 11 will witness a contest between four candidates.

They are Pang Sock Tao from PH, Khairul Azhari Saut (PN), Hafizah Zainuddin (PRM) and an independent candidate, Nyau Ke Xin.

The by-election was triggered by the death of the constituency’s three-term assemblyman from DAP, Lee Kee Hiong. – May 1, 2024.
