PETALING JAYA: MCA has yet to finalise its lineup of candidates for the upcoming Johor elections, state Barisan Nasional chairman Hasni Mohammad said in announcing the coalition’s candidates for the polls.
Umno will be contesting 37 seats, MCA 15 and MIC four.
Hasni, BN’s menteri besar candidate, said MCA wanted to ensure that its candidates would be able to fulfil the coalition’s goals in the elections, though Umno and MIC had already finalised their lineups.
Meanwhile, BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said more than 70% of BN’s candidates for the elections would comprise new faces.
He also said more than 80% of the candidates were aged 55 and below and possessed high academic qualifications.
“We hope that they are game changers but, at the same time, those with more experience will continue serving to ensure continuity in our efforts to place Johor among the top states in Malaysia,” he said.
Among the more prominent names who will be contesting in the March 12 polls are Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi (Rengit) and senator Jefridin Atan (Kukup).
