GE15: BN to field 21 new faces in S’gor

BANGI – Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN) will field 21 new faces in 21 parliamentary seats in the upcoming 15th general election (GE15).

Its chairman Tan Sri Noh Omar said this meant that BN would be fielding an old face in only one out of the 22 parliamentary seats in Selangor.

“In Selangor, 21 new candidates will be contesting while I am the only old face,” he told the media after officiating at the Keluarga Malaysia Undergraduates Cheap Sales programme, here, today.

However, Noh who is also Selangor Umno liaison committee chairman, declined to say more on the list of candidates.

“I don’t want to divulge the list of candidates, let’s just wait for the announcement from the top five,” he said.

“The top five refer to Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan and the three vice-presidents, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid.

Noh said the list of candidates had also been sent to the BN top leadership. – Bernama, October 19, 2022
