Najib may seek re-election to Parliament despite conviction
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 — Former Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has not ruled out seeking re-election to parliament within the next two years, he told Reuters in an interview, undeterred by a corruption conviction that would block him from running.
Najib, who served as premier for nine years until 2018, was found guilty of corruption last year and sentenced to 12 years in jail over one of many cases over the misappropriation of funds from now-defunct state fund 1MDB. He has denied wrongdoing and has appealed the verdict. But speaking to Reuters on Saturday, Najib challenged his disqualification saying: “It is subject to interpretation.”
