SHAH ALAM, July 28 — Selangor Pakatan Harapan chairman Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said he will seek Harapan chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s views on the status of the Kota Damansara candidacy.
Amirudin said he does not know much about the request to change candidates for the constituency and needs to contact Anwar for further explanation over the matter.
He was asked to comment on whether Harapan or PKR would swap out Amin Yazid, the candidate announced by Anwar on Saturday (July 22) as the candidate for Kota Damansara, following objections by residents, during a media conference after handing over official vehicles to Selangor State Secretary Datuk Haris Kasim at the State Secretariat Building here today.
Kota Damansara was previously held by Shatiri Mansor, who was elected as the state assemblyman in 2018, and Anwar’s announcement led to residents voicing their dissatisfaction and their hope that Shatiri would be allowed to contest due to his good track record.
