KUALA LUMPUR: PKR has announced that its deputy president Mohd Rafizi Ramli will return to contest for the Pandan parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election (GE15) next month.
The party also announced the incumbent MP for Pandan, Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, as its candidate for Bandar Tun Razak, while the incumbent assemblyman for Batu Tiga, Rodziah Ismail, is to be fielded in Ampang.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, who is PKR vice president, will be contesting in Gombak, which may see a fierce battle with incumbent Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.
In the GE13, Mohd Rafizi contested in Pandan and won the seat after defeating Lim Chin Yee (BN-MCA) and Tan Yew Leng (Independent) with a 26,729-vote majority.
However, he could not defend the seat in the GE14 as he was disqualified as a Member of Parliament after the Shah Alam Sessions Court found him guilty and sentenced him to 30-month jail for disclosing the details of four bank accounts relating to the National Feedlot Centre (NFC) scandal.
The seat was contested and won by Wan Azizah with a 52,543-vote majority.
The announcement of PKR candidates at the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council field in Taman Kosas here last night was also attended by party president cum Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
