Rina to contest Sepang, crowd cheers for ‘local candidate’

 

Titiwangsa incumbent Rina Harun will shift her focus to the Sepang constituents under Bersatu’s banner for GE15 after party president Muhyiddin Yassin confirmed her candidacy for the seat today.

Amid cheers from the crowd shouting “calon tempatan” (local candidate), Rina stepped up to the stage to be greeted and congratulated by Muhyiddin.

Sepang is also said to be the battleground among heads of various party’s women’s wings, and Rina, who is the Bersatu Women chief is expected to face Amanah Women chief Aiman Athirah Sabu.

No stranger to the constituency, Rina, who was previously the Sepang Umno Puteri chief, will attempt to woo the Malay majority voter bank over the next three weeks.
