Umno will identify the BN “heavyweight” candidates, including those in the cabinet, to contest in Selangor in the 15th general election (GE15), said its president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said fielding the “heavyweights” would be one of the party’s strategies for GE15 in the state.
"We are confident that it is the right criteria. We will identify the candidates," he said after attending a gathering with youth called Santai Mesra NGO Anak Muda Geng 18 in Sabak Bernam today.
Earlier, Selangor Umno Liaison Committee chairperson Noh Omar said he welcomed heavyweight candidates or those in the cabinet to contest for parliamentary seats in Selangor and named Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz as one of them.
Noh described Zafrul as one of the young figures who had the potential to be highlighted and made an icon in the state.
There have been talks that Zafrul would contest for the Kuala Selangor parliamentary seat, with him often being seen going to the constituency.
