Umno will contest in Kuala Kangsar if there is a by-election: Zahid

Having secured the second-highest number of votes in the previous election, Umno believes it should recapture the seat

KUALA KANGSAR – Umno will contest the Kuala Kangsar parliamentary seat if a by-election is held there, said party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Zahid, who is also deputy prime minister, said the results of the 15th General Election (GE15) serve as the basis for this intention, as Umno received the second-highest number of votes after the opposition party candidate who won the seat.

“According to Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, the formula is that if we lost the seat (during the election) but we were in the second position (in terms of votes received), then in the upcoming election, it is incumbent on us to recapture the seat,” he said.

Zahid said this when opening the Kuala Kangsar Umno division delegates meeting at Dewan Jubli Perak, here today.

In GE15 held on November 19, 2022, Bersatu’s Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid won the Kuala Kangsar parliamentary seat by securing 14,380 votes, while Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Maslin Sham Razman received 10,814 votes.

Besides Kuala Kangsar, Bersatu has submitted notices to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul, requesting that the Gua Musang, Jeli, Bukit Gantang, Tanjung Karang and Labuan parliamentary seats be vacated following the party revoking the membership of their MPs for switching support to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Meanwhile, Zahid, who is also BN chairman, said that the allocation of seats between BN and Pakatan Harapan (PH) for GE16 will be discussed in detail in its supreme council meeting to ensure there is no overlap between the two coalitions.

Commenting on the decree by the His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, during the Maal Hijrah 1446 celebration yesterday to enhance enforcement against deviant teachings, Zahid said the matter will be brought to the meeting of the National Council of Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI) for discussion.

“We know that the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) is the coordinating body at the federal level for Islamic propagation and development, but the administration of Islam is under the jurisdiction of the Malay rulers and state governments.

“His Majesty’s decree can be brought to the MKI meeting chaired by Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah for further scrutiny and implementation,” he added. – July 8, 2024
