KUALA LUMPUR – If speculations are to be believed, special functions minister Datuk Abdul Latiff Ahmad appears to be among those being considered by Bersatu as a Johor menteri besar candidate.
While a final decision on candidates has yet to be made, sources told The Vibes that Latiff has been proposed as one of his party’s choices for the state’s top post should it secure a victory in next month’s election.
The Mersing MP is tipped to contest in the Tenggaroh state seat – a Barisan Nasional (BN) stronghold – which is one of the two seats under his parliamentary constituency.
Presently, Tenggaroh is held by two-term assemblyman and MIC Youth chief Raven Kumar Krishnasamyi.
Perikatan Nasional (PN), the coalition led by Bersatu, will be announcing its list of candidates for the Johor polls tomorrow, following talks on seat distribution with component parties PAS and Gerakan.
However, Latiff has kept mum when asked about the talks.
