Pianggu PAS Women's wing branch leader is PN candidate for Tioman

Pianggu PAS Women’s wing branch leader, Nor Idayu Hashim has been named the Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate for the Tioman state seat in the 15th general election to be held early next month.

Pahang PN chairperson Saifuddin Abdullah said Nor Idayu, 35, who is a housewife, was selected to represent the women’s voice in the state assembly.

“She is a ‘muslimat’ among the local women leaders and is capable of understanding the aspirations of the grassroots,” he said, in a statement today.

Nor Idayu, born at Felda Jengka 13 in Maran, holds a Diploma in Accounting from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Machang, Kelantan.

She is Tioman PAS Youth leader Muhammad Daud’s wife. The couple has three children.

Polling for the Tioman state seat for the GE15 was supposed to be held on Nov 19, but it was postponed following the death of one of the candidates contesting for the seat, Md Yunus Ramli, of PN, at 3.30am on that day.

It was supposed to involve a five-way fight between Yunus, Barisan Nasional’s (BN) Mohd Johari Hussain, who is the incumbent, Sulaiman Bakar (independent), Osman A Bakar (Pejuang) and Mohd Fadzli Mohd Ramly (Pakatan Harapan).

Following that, the Election Commission (EC) has set Dec 7 as the polling day, while the nomination is tomorrow and early voting is on Dec 3.

The electoral roll to be used for the election contains a total of 28,465 electors, consisting of 28,200 ordinary electors, 262 police personnel and three absentee voters abroad.
