Bersatu deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu is determined to defend the Tambun parliamentary seat although Pakatan Harapan chairperson Anwar Ibrahim has announced he would be contesting there in next month’s 15th general election (GE15).
Ahmad Faizal said his confidence was based on the support he received from volunteers and supporters of Perikatan Nasional (PN) in Tambun.
“Therefore, we take it as a responsibility to continue serving in our home ground,” he said in a statement today.
In GE14, Ahmad Faizal won Tambun on a Harapan ticket in a three-cornered fight against BN and PAS candidates, polling 38,661 votes for a 5,320-vote majority.
Ahmad Faizal, who is also the Perak PN chairperson, said anyone is welcome to contest the Tambun seat.
He hoped the election would be conducted fairly.
Anwar won the Port Dickson parliamentary seat with a 23,560-vote majority in a seven-cornered contest in a by-election in October 2018.
He previously contested in Permatang Pauh.
