GE15: Radzi Jidin is PN candidate for Putrajaya

Bersatu vice-president Radzi Jidin was announced last night as Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) candidate for the Putrajaya parliamentary seat in the 15th general election (GE15).

PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Bersatu president, announced this in his speech at the coalition’s ‘Jelajah Prihatin Parlimen Putrajaya’ programme in Putrajaya.

“The candidate for Putrajaya is Radzi… never have any doubt, this is our candidate and we want him to work,” Muhyiddin said.

In GE14, Radzi contested the Ketereh parliamentary seat but was defeated by Umno’s Annuar Musa. Radzi was then appointed a senator on July 17, 2018. He was made senior minister of education in August 2021.

The incumbent MP for Putrajaya is Umno treasurer Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, who in GE14 won the seat against PAS’ Zainal Abidin Kidam and PKR candidate Samsu Adabi Mamat by a 3,372-vote majority.

Meanwhile, Muhyiddin also announced ‘Prihatin, Bersih dan Stabil’ (Caring, Clean and Stable) as PN’s GE15 slogan, as he exclaimed a loud ‘PN Best!’ to supporters gathered at the event.

“This is our tagline during GE15 and PN Best is our hope,” he said.

The PN coalition is made of Bersatu, PAS, Gerakan, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).

The Election Commission has fixed Nov 19 as polling day, Nov 5 for nominations and for early voting to be held on Nov 15.
