Umno’s Tok Mat bets political future on Rantau
Mohamad was stripped of the seat after the court decided that his would-be opponent, Rembau PKR division deputy chief Dr S. Streram, was unlawfully prevented from submitting his nomination papers. ― Picture by Farhan Najib
The former Negri Sembilan mentri besar was the three-time Rantau assemblyman who lost the seat after the Special Election Court annulled his uncontested victory from the 14th general election. Rantau is the country’s next major political bellwether after this Saturday’s hotly-contested Semenyih by-election.
Mohamad will have the advantage of his previous incumbency in the area as well as the support of major party leaders in surrounding constituencies.
