Johor Harapan to announce candidates on Nov 3

Johor Pakatan Harapan will announce its candidates for 26 parliamentary seats on Nov 3 in Johor Bahru for the upcoming 15th general election, said Johor Amanah deputy chairperson Dzulkefly Ahmad.

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

“All the parties had the experience of 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 GE15 in Johor at the Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP) building today.

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

In GE14, Salahuddin won the Pulai seat with a majority of 7,687 votes in a four-cornered contest.

The Election Commission has set Nov 19 for polling, early voting for Nov 15 and Nov 5 for the nomination of candidates.
