'I won at selfies but lost votes' - KJ quips during debut as radio DJ

Khairy Jamaluddin cracked up the hosts and listeners of radio station Hot FM early this morning with some humour aimed at himself following his loss in the 15th general election (GE15).

"I thought (I would win) because when I was campaigning, a lot of people asked to take a selfie with me. But I lost.

“I won at selfies but lost at getting votes,” he said during his debut as a radio presenter in the 'Bekpes Hot' segment.

The former health minister also told his fellow hosts Johan Raja Lawak and Muhammad Selamat (AG) that he was at an impasse regarding his political future.

"After the loss in November, I don't know what to do. I'm 'jammed' thinking about my future," he was quoted as saying by Utusan.

Last week, Media Prima Audio (MPA) confirmed that Khairy was joining Hot FM as a radio presenter.

The former Rembau MP will come on air every Monday to Friday, from 6am to 10am.

In GE15, Khairy lost to PKR's R Ramanan in the contest for the Sungai Buloh parliamentary seat.

He was sacked from Umno on Jan 28 due to disparaging remarks he made against the party leadership during the GE15 campaign.

Since then, there have been offers from the opposition for Khairy to contest in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan in the upcoming state elections, with the lure of the menteri besar's position in the cards.
