IPOH, Oct 21<\/strong> — PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today confirmed that he will contest the Tambun parliamentary seat in Perak during the 15th General Election (GE15).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anwar in his speech at the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Convention here tonight said he chose an area that was not easy to get a large majority and he felt responsible to strengthen the PH movement in the northern states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am confident of winning and seizing the Tambun seat and Perak. This is my readiness,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incumbent Member of Parliament for Port Dickson said Perak would be elevated to a developed state especially in terms of the economy like Penang and Selangor, if PH was given a mandate by the people to govern the state.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Tambun parliamentary seat is held by Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, who is also the Minister of Youth and Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked during a press conference later whether parties other than those under PH would use the coalition’s logo, Anwar said the matter would depend on the parties concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Up to them, our offer is to use the PH logo,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, PH secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution announced Anwar as the sole prime minister candidate of the political bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, Anwar’s experience and struggles in the political world warranted him to be a suitable candidate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifudin also announced that PH had completed the negotiation for parliamentary seats to contest in GE15 among component parties, while a decision on the matter with regard to parties or blocs that were not part of the coalition would be made within the next three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
