JOHOR BARU: As the Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state by-elections draw nearer, political parties have less than a week to nominate candidates to represent them.
Various names have been mentioned, but despite both seats being seen as strongholds of Pakatan Harapan , represented by Parti Amanah Negara , what are the criteria that these parties will consider?
" The late Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub held a highly respected reputation in the parliamentary seat, so the candidate to be fielded by PH must be of equal or at least comparable stature or a new progressive candidate who can provide good service. Mazlan said that this was due to the late Salahuddin's reputation for defeating former Pulai MP and prominent Umno figure, Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed, who held the seat for three terms.
PH should also consider the diverse voter demographics of the Pulai parliamentary seat, with Malays being the majority, but the number of Chinese and Indian voters is also quite significant, he added. However, Mujibu pointed out that PH's capability to retain the parliamentary seat could serve as a"tonic", providing a sense of relief to both PH and the unity government, especially after the recent state election results.
It will be made once the central leadership finalises the decisions, scheduled for next week, he said.
