PH names ex-education minister Maszlee, Batu Pahat MP for Johor polls

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan tonight unveiled its candidates for next month’s Johor election, with a lineup that includes former education minister Maszlee Malik, Batu Pahat MP Onn Abu Bakar and Johor PKR Youth chief Faezuddin Puad.

Maszlee will contest the Puteri Wangsa seat, while Onn has been named the coalition’s candidate for Senggarang. Faezuddin will stand in Kempas.

Pulai MP Suhaizan Kaiat of Amanah, meanwhile, will stand in Larkin.

PH’s candidates were announced by chairman Anwar Ibrahim.

Also present were Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook.

In his speech, Loke said victory in Johor was crucial for the federal government’s stability.

“If we want Anwar to continue as prime minister, we need PH to win in Johor,” he said, adding that the state’s economy grew partly due to the federal government.

It was previously reported that PKR would field candidates in 20 seats, DAP 17 and Amanah 19.

In May, PH said it would contest all 56 seats in the state election, in response to Barisan Nasional’s decision to field candidates in every constituency.

The Johor election is set for July 11, with nominations on June 27 and early voting on July 7.
