Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the late Khusairi Abdul Talib had won the seat at four past elections.
Ismail said the seat should be contested by Umno based on the party’s winning record in past elections. The seat has been held for four terms by Khusairi Abdul Talib who died of a heart attack at the age of 59 on Wednesday. Ismail said: “For me, it should be contested by Umno as the party has won it several times and there is no reason why we should hand it to another person . We will contest and the president will announce the candidate later as the matter has not been discussed,” he said.
