Decision whether Anwar will contest in Tambun to be known Oct 29 [NSTTV]

PARIT BUNTAR: The decision on whether Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman and PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will contest in the Tambun parliamentary seat will only be known on Oct 29.

Perak PH chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa said he welcomed the Port Dickson member of parliament to contest there as Anwar was able to give added value to strengthen the state PH.

"He is welcomed to contest in Tambun in the next general election. It would be an honour for us here in Perak.

"On whether Anwar will contest in Tambun or not, that will be announced on that day during the Pakatan Harapan Convention," he said.

The Parit Buntar member of parliament said this in a press conference after attending 'Himpunan Harapan Perak Bangkit' at the Tanjung Piandang night market, last night.

Also present were Perak PKR chairman Chang Lih Kang, Perak Amanah chairman Datuk Asmuni Awi and Perak DAP chairman Nga Kor Ming.

The Tambun parliamentary seat is currently held by Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, who is also the Youth and Sports Minister and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) deputy president.

PH would hold its convention at the Ipoh International Convention Centre (IICC) on Oct 29.

Five important matters are expected to be unveiled at the convention, namely PH's prime minister candidate, nationwide seat allocation for PH component parties, election manifesto, theme song and mascot for the 15th General Election (GE15).
