PETALING JAYA:

Pakatan Harapan has unveiled its candidates for the Aug 1 Negeri Sembilan state election, with the coalition set to field PKR vice-president Aminuddin Harun in the Umno stronghold of Linggi.

This is despite the menteri besar having represented Sikamat for four consecutive terms since 2008.

Nonetheless, Linggi falls within the Port Dickson parliamentary constituency, which Aminuddin has been representing in Parliament since 2022.

PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim also announced that PKR’s former Kapar MP G Manivannan will contest the Jeram Padang seat, which has a significant Indian electorate.

Manivannan, a former political secretary to Anwar, will look to make his electoral comeback in the state election, having lost the race for the Kuala Langat parliamentary seat during the 2022 general election.

Anwar also announced that DAP secretary-general and transport minister Loke Siew Fook will be seeking a fourth term as Chennah assemblyman.

PH is contesting all 36 seats up for grabs in the 16th Negeri Sembilan state assembly election.
