IPOH – Barisan Nasional (BN) chief communication coordinator Mohd Shafiq Fhadly has been announced as the party candidate for Larut parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election (GE15) to replace independent preacher Datuk Mohammad Kazim Elias.
It was announced by Pahang BN chairman Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad at an event to unveil BN candidates for state seats, here today.
“The change was made after Ustaz Kazim withdrew as BN candidate (for Larut),” he said.
In his speech, Saarani who will defend his Kota Tampan state seat said the responsibility as a party member was not just when one was selected as a candidate, but also when not selected.
“The objective is not just being a candidate, but also to win the election. Our aim is to retain power in Perak...as BN government.
“We want to promote our symbol, the ‘dacing’ (scales)...so that when we go to the ground, people see our symbol and they’ll vote for us to win,” he said.
Saarani said BN will contest all 24 parliamentary seats and 59 state seats in Perak in the GE15. – Bernama, November 2, 2022
