The son of Bersatu leader and Tanah Merah MP Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz has announced that he will be contesting for the Umno Youth vice-chief post in the upcoming party election.
Ikmal Hazlan (above) submitted his nomination form at the headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
"With the determination and clear vision that I will offer to the Umno Youth movement, I ask to be given the chance to continue serving the Umno Youth wing with a more significant role and greater challenges.
"Therefore, I humbly offer myself as a candidate for the Umno Youth vice-chief for the 2023/2026 Umno election.
"I ask for the support and trust of all representatives of the wing,” he said in a post on his social media today.
For the record, Ikmal Hisham won the Tanah Merah seat in the 14th general election (GE14) on a BN ticket.
However, he left the party and joined Bersatu. During GE15, Ikmal Hisham contested on the Bersatu ticket using the PAS logo.
During the Perikatan Nasional administration, Ikmal Hisham was appointed the deputy defence minister.
Ikmal Hisham was once alleged of giving a letter of support for his son, who is also an Umno Youth exco member, to be offered a position in Pharmaniaga Bhd.
Last month, former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's son Nazifuddin also announced that he would be running for the Umno Youth vice-chief position.
He revealed on a Facebook post that his priority was to bring back youth support for Umno. - Mkini
